Defensive decision for Town boss

From the archive, first published Friday 9th Mar 2007.

Billericay Town boss Matt Jones has got some key decisions to make before deciding his starting line-up for tomorrow's visit to fellow Ryman Premier promotion hopefuls Hampton & Richmond.

The main choice concerns the central defensive position alongside Steven Heffer where Darren Blewitt is ruled out on a three-match ban following last month's dismissal at AFC Wimbledon.

Jones has the choice of bringing in young Rob Swaine or switching skipper Jamie Dormer from midfield to fill the role.

"Rob has never let us down when he's been brought in and Jamie did an excellent job at the back when we kept a clear sheet at Fisher Athletic last season," said Jones.

"To be honest it's a decision I won't make until the day of the game."

Up front Joe Flack, having had the stitches removed in the past couple of days, is fit to resume following his hand operation.

But Jones is unlikely to rush his leading scorer back into action and Flack may start the game on the bench.
