IT IS not a new topic for Inside Track, but one worth revisiting after the news that Division One of the Evening League has lost a side before it has even got into its stride and, more startling to my senses, the withdrawal of a Salemites first team from Division Two.

ALL’S so well in our little sporting world.

KEVIN GRAHAM flies in the week after next to take his first Muratti training squad and the news is that despite the obvious preponderance of GFC players, he will run separate training sessions in the days ahead of the Alderney game a fortnight today.
