Division One outfit Ossett Town have been dealt a real blow this week after losing four defenders for various reasons.
After having a wealth of competition for places in the back four player/manager Gary Brook must now hope that former Halifax Town man Craig Boardman has fully recovered from a bout of glandular fever as he looks set to be recalled to the first team this weekend for the trip to Lincoln United.
