CASH-STRAPPED Bury face a banana skin appointment with Dr Martins league team Tamworth in the first round of the FA Cup tomorrow.

It will be 100 years since Bury first won the FA Cup, but rather than hoping for a repeat, they will be glad to come home unscathed from this tricky first round tie.

The Shakers really need a long cup run against some big club opponents and will be under orders to win this tie at all costs.

Andy Woodward will miss the game and several others are nursing knocks but will have to play in a game which is crucial to the immediate future of this famous old cup winning club.

The squad is: Kenny, Billy, Redmond, C Swailes, Williams, Daws, Bullock, Reid, Lawson, Preece, Littlejohn, Barnes, Bhutia, Barrick, Linighan, D Swailes.
