Scorers:

Moyesy was in the stands to watch Nace complete 90 minutes in a poor goalless draw in Widnes last night. The young Blues should have took maximum points from a Boro side which contained Gaizka Mendieta and Malcolm Christie. Ross Turnbull in the visitors goal the more busier of the two keepers, and with Andy Holden's boys only having pride to play for this season, Moyesy for one will be happy that one of his first team fringe players came through unscathed.

PRE MATCH

Gary Naysmith is the only recognised first teamer on reserve duty tonight, when Andy Holden's youngsters take on Middlesboro' in Widnes (Kick off 7pm). Although Big Vic and Vaughny are injured they would not have been considered as they are on first team duty, Dickie Wright would have been but is crocked, so the second string have a even younger look to them than usual.

Everton From: Ruddy, Densmore, Naysmith, Irving, Kearney, Phelan, Morrison, de Silva, Vidarsson, Downes, Kissock, Spencer, J.Jones, Harpur, Elder, Molyneux.
