Aldershot Town Reserves vs Brentford Reserves

Last updated : 23 August 2009 By Mike Wray
Aldershot Town Reserves open their totesport.com campaign on Monday afternoon and both Gary Waddock and Martin Kuhl will be looking for their side to get off to a winning start.

Speaking to The Shots on Sunday morning, Shots boss Gary Waddock said, "We'll have to wait and see who we've got available and who we think will benefit from playing in the match.

"Although we have a small squad, it will be business as usual for us and I will be looking to play the strongest side possible and that is likely to include Anthony Charles as well as those first teamers who found themselves on the bench against Accrington yesterday [Anthony Straker, Lewis Chalmers, John Grant and Danny Hylton].

"Brentford have some good squad players and they have got off to a great start in League One this season so we're fully expecting them to make things tough for us.

"It would be nice to see a bigger then usual crowd for this fixture - especially with the holidays still on and there's every chance that supporters will get to see Nikki Bull making his first return to the EBB Stadium since signing for them [Brentford]."

With the likes of promising striker Reece Connolly having already made the bench twice so far this season, and defender Ben Hutchings joining him as promising talent for the future, both already have ample Reserve team experience under their belts from last season and are certain to be in Waddock's plans.

It costs just £3 for adults and £1 for concessions while season ticket holders are admitted free of charge for all Reserve fixtures at the EBB Stadium and the game kicks off at 2pm.

Everybody is welcome to attend so if you're off work or still on holiday, why not get down to the EBB Stadium and lend your support to the team?
