Un paio di segnalazioni nella
South Conference
Hampton & Richmond - Newport County
Blue Square South side Hampton & Richmond Borough have a defensive crisis on their hands after losing two centre-backs to injury in the past week.
29-year-old Rob Paris suffered a broken arm just seven minutes into last Saturday's 2-0 defeat at Bath City and Aaron Barnett joined him on the treatment table just 45 minutes later with a thigh strain.
This leaves manager Alan Devonshire with a serious lack of options at the back ahead of a busy Bank Holiday weekend.
"It is a big blow because Rob is big man and can dominate things at the back," Devonshire told Your Local Guardian.
"Aaron will be out for a couple of weeks, but I have got a few people I can bring in, so we will have to take on the chin and get on with it.
"It was a bad day at the office. Maybe the win against Bognor took it out of the players more than we expected.
"It was very lacklustre but that happens sometimes."

South Conference:Lewes - Braintree Town Braintree Town boss George Borg has admitted he may have to bring in new players after the Blue Square South club suffered a triple blow.
Midfielder Andy Porter is set to leave Town after starting a new job that requires him to work on Saturdays, while Bradley Quinton and Ollie Adedeji are both on the treatment table.
Borg has made enquiries about bringing in new faces and said: "It seems like it never rains but it pours but there's no point moaning about it.
"I may have to bring in two or three new players to improve the squad we have but we will not rush into anything."

Premier Conference invece segnalo che
l'Halifax ha grossi problemi finanziari:
Blue Square Premier club Halifax Town is on the verge of closing down if it doesn't receive a cash injection very soon, according to former chairman Geoff Ralph.
Ralph is currently the club's only remaining director and has warned that the Inland Revenue could start liquidation proceedings in September if debts are not cleared.
"This fact is known to the consortium and I can say, without fear of contradiction, that I have done everything I can to make the deal happen, including significant personal financial losses," Ralph told the Halifax Courier.
"I have received considerable support from Chris Yewdall, the club's accountant, who has devoted time and energy communicating with the consortium.
"He risked his reputation by agreeing to stand up before a meeting of fans in March to convey assurances on behalf of the consortium. I feel he has been let down badly."
Meanwhile, a trio of Bradford-based businessmen have been identified as the mystery consortium looking to complete a takeover for the club.

Il Milan in B. E per ben due volte: una... a pagamento e una... gratis. Sono dell'idea che una retrocessione cancelli almeno cinque scudetti conquistati e che la vittoria di una Mitropa Cup elimini i residui. (cit. G.Prisco)
