After a difficult week for all associated with Slough Town, the club returns to action this evening (Tuesday) and will pay tribute to Christian Rowe, who tragically died in a road traffic accident last week.
The Rebels are set to take on a much-improved Billericay Town side and, before kick-off, the club and its supporters will pay their respects to the promising young Academy 23s player.
The club announced the sad news last week, saying everyone was ‘devastated and heartbroken’.
Joint manager Jon Underwood hopes fans will turn out in good number to pay their respects to the 19-year-old.
On the club’s website he wrote: “We will pay tribute to Christian Rowe before the game and hope that a good number of supporters will be in attendance to do the same. The kind reaction from the footballing community has been really nice to see and we would like to thank everyone who has been in touch.”
He also gave a squad update ahead of tonight’s match against a Billericay side who’ve found form in recent weeks, despite sitting bottom of the National League South table.
“Our opponents have been in impressive form, competing with some of the biggest and best sides in the league recently and are unbeaten in their last six games,” he said.
“By contrast, our last league game was a disappointing one at Chippenham and we are fully focused on putting that right.
“We are still without the suspended Ben Harris, plus Eitel Goueth who has a slight groin problem and Sean Fraser for family reasons, but on the positive side Tyler Goodrham returns having been cup-tied for the York game and we also add Michael Edegbe plus young defender Lewis Pegg (who has been doing very well at Bedfont Sports) and the returning Manny Williams, who will combine assistant manager duties tomorrow with a place on the bench.”
Squad: Jonathan North, Michael Edegbe, Josh Jackman, Freddie Grant, Lee Togwell, Mark Nisbet, Lewis Pegg, Scott Davies, George Hunt, Aaron Kuhl, Matthew Lench, Max Worsfold, Tyler Goodrham, Alfonso Tenconi, Imran Kayani, Manny Williams.
