Reserves' News

18th January 2006

Lincoln City's reserves were in action this afternoon, but it was a mixed occasion for Luke Foster.

Doncaster Rovers' reserves were the opposition who travelled to Ashby Avenue, and within ten minutes of the match starting, they must have wished that they had stayed at home! Two goals from Leon Mettam and Foster gave Lincoln a 2-0 lead with just ten minutes played.

Ollie Ryan added a third for Lincoln just after the 60th minute to make it 3-0 to Lincoln. The visitors' frustrations gained the better of them when Richard Offiong was dismissed for an apparent headbutt.

It became ten v ten during the closing minutes because Foster received a red card for a second bookable offence. This allowed Doncaster the space to create a late consolation goal.

Included in Lincoln's side was defender Jude Stirling, who is a trialist from Oxford United. Although Stirling has been regularly involved in Oxford's first team this season, he has now been told that he is free to leave the club.

Lincoln City res: Simon Rayner, Lee Beevers (Phil Watt 60), Jude Stirling, Nat Brown (Andy Toyne 75), Jack Cotton, Tom Kemp, Lee Frecklington, Luke Foster, Gary Birch (Nigel Wallace 60), Leon Mettam, Ollie Ryan.

Doncaster Rovers res: Lee Cockerham, Nathan Ireland, Liam Green, Adam Hughes, Rob Pacey, Adam Green, Jermaine McSporran, Anthony Griffiths, Adriano Rigoglioso, Brighton Mugadza, Richard Offiong. Subs: Ian Snodin, Michael Guillait, Mattie Noble, Adam Lee, Andy Matthews.

Meanwhile, Lincoln City's reserve match against Darlington on January 25th has been rearranged for March 15th, kick-off 7pm at Sincil Bank.
