Grays assured of mid-table

10:32pm Friday 25th April 2008

GRAYS Athletic, who completed their home programme against Rushden and Diamonds last night, bring their season to a conclusion in Yorkshire tomorrow.

But they are likely to find hosts Farsley Celtic in despondent mood after their relegation was confirmed by last week's results.

Grays themselves will finish in a mid-table position and it will be interesting to see next term how chairman Mike Woodward gets on in a managerial role for a whole campaign next season.

l A BENEFIT game for ex-Grays player Ernie Cooksey, who is suffering from cancer, will be held at the New Rec this Sunday, kick-off at 3pm.

Grays will take on an All-Star XI containing Ray Parlour, Iain Dowie, Paul Merson, Leroy Lita and Lee Hendrie.

Tickets, priced at £10 for adults and £5 for children, will be available on the turnstiles.
