Lynn-Avon must face deadly two

Lynn-Avon today have the unenviable task of stopping North Force strikers Keegan Baddeley and Steve Schimmel from causing havoc in Kamo.

The names of Baddeley and Schimmel seem to be permanently etched onto the North Force scoresheet, with the deadly duo having accounted for an impressive 12 of the side's 15 goals so far.

While Lynn Avon sit mid-table along with North Force, coach Russell Baddeley hopes the side can score a fair few goals.

Giving Baddeley's confidence in his squad stems from the way younger players went during last weekend's 2-1 loss to Fencibles United.

"The defence played very well, and after taking 10 minutes to settle, the back four of Ben Porter, Nathan Steel, Jeremy Rintoul and Marcus Crum played exceptionally well [last week]," Baddeley said.

"I was delighted with some of our younger players - Kallum Reed, Joel Crawford and Taylor Bell-Booth - who got on last week and certainly didn't look out of place.

"We have a fine crop of young players in the squad and I suspect they will play a big part as the season progresses."

Baddeley encouraged Northlanders to get along and support as he expected the game to be another open and attacking game.

"Make some noise and get in behind the North Force boys, join us after [the] match for a drink ... the players really appreciate [the] support."
