The Reserves will be looking to bounce back to winning ways tomorrow when they make the trip to face Launton Sports in the Reserve Division Two West.

02.10.09 MAYS BOOST FOR RESSIES!!
Fresh from his impressive first team outing on Wednesday it will be a high on confidence Craig Mays that returns to United's Reserves for the Presidents Cup clash with Ascot United at The Polythene UK Stadium (3-00pm).
Mays set up United's fifth goal on Wednesday but it is felt he needs a game and is with the Reserves where he is likely to be joined by Sam McNally and Conor Allmond who were both on the bench on Wednesday.
Victory tomorrow would take United very close to progress from the group stage as you can see from the table below.
