Barnesalona League, 10.30am KO
Ladbroke Groovers v Lokomotiv Londres FC
General
Loko this week welcome back into the fold Pete Masters and Dale Mellor (both pictured) for the Sunday morning game against Ladbroke Groovers, thereby further strengthening the defence and midfield after last weeks encouraging start to the season. There is a possibility that Paul Dwinfour may make an appearance for this fixture.
Other than this the squad appears to be the same as last week.
