Downs in Injury Crisis

Epsom Downs will be lacking in fire power in the coming weeks, with 3 of the top 4 goalscorers suffering injuries.

Stuart Duncan is the worst affected, with a knee ligament injury looking like keeping him out of action until early April.

Sunday’s loss against league leaders Sutton United Supporters also saw top scorer Gary Chalke and joint 3rd top scorer and in form Chris Dobson pick up ankle injuries.

Within the squad The Downs have other forward line options. Sean Bunney and Jason Ellis have played as centre forwards for a majority of their careers, and midfielder Mark Bickell has played up top before and is a proven finisher.

These changes could leave The Downs short in other areas though as they face a difficult away tie to Dauntless Athletic.

Epsom will be hoping for the return of left back Daniel Parsons this week to boost their left sided options, as well Justin Law who missed last weeks game with the flu.
