Bishop Auckland manager Brian Healy has a goalkeeping problem ahead of todays trip to Colwyn Bay.

Tony Davison has been playing in goal for Bishops, but he might be recalled by Hartlepool United to go on the bench for their game against Barnsley, so Healy was looking for a replacement last night.

Pool have agreed to lend him young centre half Graham Lowe.
