Bermuda contingent out to impress

Return to form: Lambe is line to face Dagenham and Redbridge tomorrow

Five of Bermuda’s top players are expected to be involved in first-team action at various levels of the English football pyramid this weekend.

Roger Lee celebrated his first start for non-League Rugby Town in their maiden away win of the season against Carlton Town on Wednesday.

He will hope to continue at right back in Sunday’s FA Trophy preliminary game away to St Ives Town. Lee, a former Robin Hood and Somerset Eagles player, made his debut in last weekend’s 3-2 win at home to Lincoln City in a FA Cup second-round qualifier.

Reggie Lambe should retain his starting berth when Mansfield Town take on Dagenham & Redbridge away in the Sky Bet League Two tomorrow.

Lambe was given a recall in Mansfield’s 2-0 away win to Stevenage on Tuesday after a two-week break.

“We thought he [Lambe] needed freshening up,” Adam Murray, the Mansfield manager, said. “He went last year from not playing any League football to getting chucked straight in when I took over, and had a big part in us staying in [League Two].

“The season finished and he went away on international duty so he’s not had a break which has caught up with him a bit. He looks back to himself and he looks fresh.”

Rai Simons is likely to be involved in Chesterfield’s League One match away to Crewe Alexandra, having been used as a second-half substitute in his side’s previous two games.

Chesterfield, who are seventeenth in the table, have lost three games on the run, although Dean Saunders, the team’s manager, insists they are not the midst of a crisis.

“We just need to pick some points up,” Saunders said. “On Saturday [a 2-1 home defeat by Burton], if the referee gives Jay O’Shea a penalty we’re fifth I think in the league.

“It’s not a crisis, it’s early season. Everyone’s sort of jostling for positions and if you win three games, you’re in the top six.”

Meanwhile, Nahki Wells’s Huddersfield Town play Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux in the Championship tomorrow. Wells came on a second-half substitute in Huddersfield’s 1-1 draw at home to Nottingham Forest last week.

It is has been a frustrating few weeks for the 25-year-old who has been benched by Chris Powell, the Huddersfield manager, for the past three games.

Wells’s Bermuda striker partner Jonté Smith will look to add to his goal tally when Gloucester City face Harrogate at home in the Vanarama National League North tomorrow.

Across the Irish Sea, Freddy Hall will have a free weekend with his side Limerick’s next match in the SSE Airtricity League Premier Division scheduled for next Friday away to Galway United.

The goalkeeper was named in the League of Ireland team of the week for the second time after his impressive performance in Limerick’s 3-1 home defeat to Dundalk last weekend.

Limerick are rooted to bottom of the table with four games of the season remaining.
