Last updated : 27 July 2006 By Daniel Elwes
A Joey Barton hat-trick condemned the Valiants to defeat, but manager Martin Foyle was more concerned witht he fitness of Walsh and Jason Talbot.

He said: "Jason has taken a blow to his lower back and Walsh has quite bad concussion after hitting his head on the rock-hard pitch, he's suffering with headaches.

"They should be fit for the start of the season but I won't risk them against Wrexham on Saturday."
