BARLA Name U21s Scottish Courage
Squad

Manager Neil Baxter has named a 23-man squad for this year's Scottish Courage Cup competition.

Former Workington forward Jonty Gorley will coach the squad and Willie Johnson will assist him.

Johnson brings a wealth of experience with him after 26 years in the pro-game as a player and then coach. He assisted Peter Roe at Swinton last season and is sure to prove a success with the BARLA youngsters.

Baxter was keen to stress that other players could yet force their way into the reckoning.

He said, "We have named the squad and will be picking from it for the first two games, however, other players who are showing good form for their clubs could yet be brought into the squad."

He concluded, "There is always the chance that players could pick up injuries and some could also have holiday commitments in the summer."
