A debut duo for the Nuts and Bolts

By Ian Townsend

Ryan Atkinson and Stanley Skipper debut for Ashford United


Ashford United had two debutants as they lost at Three Bridges on Saturday.

Ryan Atkinson, a defender, moves in from Corinthian Casuals, where he has made three appearances. He has also spent time at Erith and Belvedere this season, playing twice, and started the season at Hastings United where he doesn't seem to have played at all.

Ryan played for Corinthian in Pitching In isthmian South East during the 21-22 campaign. He has also turned out for South Park Reigate, Whyteleafe, Fisher, and Glebe. He played the first fifty four minutes of Saturday's match.

Midfielder Stanley Skipper moves in on loan from Gillingham, where he plays for the Under 18 side. He moved to the Gills after playing youth football with Arsenal, and is apparently the nephew of former Chelsea and Everton boss Frank Lampard. Stanley emerged from the bench in the early stages of the second half.
