WITHAM TOWN FC Witham Town will be relying on their promising youngsters coupled with a handful of experienced players to ensure their survival in the Ryman League Division One North this season. That was the stark reality message from manager Tony Last this week who was heartened by the performances of five teenagers in Monday's narrow 3­2 home defeat to Concord Rangers.

"The 17­year­olds, Tyrone White and Ricky Lefly, plus 16­year­old Rory Bone all did exceptionally well and they and one or two other youngsters will play regularly in our first team this season," he said. "That's the way forward for a club like ours because they have already shown their potential and they are prepared to take on responsibility at this level.

"They've the right attitude and commitment and with the help of the more experienced players around them the future will look bright."

Last, who claims that currently the club has 15 players unable to play because of injury, remains upbeat despite his side having lost their first four league games and conceded 16 goals.

"Our physios have been working overtime to try and get players fit. I've never seen a treatment room like it," he explained. "The latest to join the list is Danny Cornwell (foot injury) while Will Morris is still recovering from a car accident sustained on the morning of the Concord game."

Last felt his players responded magnificently in the Concord game after the 5­1 hammering at league leaders Wingate & Finchley on Saturday.

"The scoreline in that game was not a true reflection of the overall match – we were only 2­1 down with 12 minutes to go and then lost the influential Nathan Fletcher from the heart of the defence before conceding three late goals," he explained. Fletcher is now out with a hamstring injury to add to our list but I always say that out of every adversity comes triumph and we will do that."
