important match with Port Vale this weekend, after Don Page and Andy Flounders swapped clubs in one-month loans yesterday.

Page has gone to Third Division Rochdale while Flounders, 29, will be Goater's partner up front for Saturday's match with second-placed Port Vale who, like Rotherham, are pushing for promotion. Striker Tony Cunningham has been ruled out for a month through injury.

Flounders has an impressive goal-scoring record, having notched 54 goals in 159 appearances for Hull City and 87 goals in 196 games for Scunthorpe. In 42 games for Rochdale prior to this season he scored 17. This season he has scored 11 goals for mid-table Rochdale.

Bermuda Football Association director Elroy Ratteray confirmed yesterday that he withdrew a $1,200 bill for remuneration during the recent World Cup campaign because he felt the commitment was not a hardship, and not because the practice was unconstitutional.
