A tight squeeze! ZAMARETTO MIDLAND.

ATHERSTONE Town are sweating on the fitness of Dave Haywood for their derby trip to Sutton Coldfield Town.

The Adders' assistant-manager is nursing a tweaked hamstring, so Giovanni Dainty is on standby for a left-back outing. "He's played there in a couple of games and done well," said manager Daren Fulford. "He gives us something going forward and I would have no reservations about putting him in."

Centre-back Tom Guiney, who has also been nursing a hamstring strain, came through a Central Conference outing on Monday so he should return alongside Shawn Boothe, who was ruled out by a business trip to Dubai last weekend.

Fulford is anxious to tighten up his side's defensive form explaining: "Attacking flair and looking good going forward is fine, but not if we continue to concede soft goals and have to chase games."
