Hythe Town lose services of Nick Barnes for rest of season
by Andrew Gidley
Nick Barnes has been ruled out for the rest of the season with a
knee injury.
The Hythe midfielder (pictured) undergoes surgery to repair the
cartilage damage on Thursday after being injured in the 3-1
Ryman League Division 1 South win over Corinthian Casuals last
month.
It was Hythe’s first win in 2013, which launched their present
unbeaten eight-game run.
Boss Scott Porter said: "It’s a blow because he is a valuable
part of our squad and has been for the past two years with his
experience and how he makes the team tick.
"Nick is frustrated but I still want him involved in the
dressing room before the game helping all the other lads.
"We haven’t lost, though, since he has been out of the side and
that shows how well the guys who have replaced him have done."
Lee Winfield should be fit after missing the Dulwich game with a
slight groin strain.
