Updates from the Tuesday game
United travel to Yorkshire to play Garforth FC at the Genix Healthcare Stadium tonight [kick off 7.30pm] with United manager Greg Abbott looking forward to building up links with another club ahead of the start of the new campaign.“This is one which we hope will work both ways," he said.
"We are looking to use Garforth as a base where we can train on the way down to some of our away games on that side of the country next season. Having spoken to them, they said we could use the facility free of charge if we gave them a friendly.
"This is a way for us to say thank you for that and, with that in mind, we're taking a very strong squad.
"It's an opportunity for some of our lads to get a full 90 minutes and for all of them to build up their match fitness.
"Hopefully there will be a decent crowd there and everyone will have an enjoyable night."

6 mins - Lewis Guy worked hard to get into the box but a slight touch from Greenhalgh took him out of his stride. He spun to shoot but could only screw his effort wide of the target.
8 mins - Guy did the hard work when he beat his man and bore down on goal. Dom Smith held his position and made a good save as the striker tried to slot the ball through his legs.

16 mins - Miller flicked a throw into the path of Guy but Jackson moved across to block the shot.
23 mins - Devine split the defence with a perfect pass for Booker and held the play up to allow Royles to gain ground. The midfielder lined up a distance shot and was disappointed to see it fly right at Gillespie.

36 mins - Nick Black dropped a shoulder and tried to rifle the ball through a ruck of bodies but he was off balance and he lifted his attempt high over the bar.
40 mins - A smart move started with Robson feeding James on the overlap and his cross-shot had to be dealt with by Smith as blue shirts converged.
42 mins - Mike Edwards expertly controlled a Robson corner as he trapped it, spun on the spot and drilled it into the back of the net despite a hand from Smith.
43 mins - Guy found himself one-on-one with Smith but the big keeper held his ground and completed the block.
