Le Prevost puts faith in 'kids' on crucial derby day

MICK LE PREVOST is turning to North's 'kids' as they look to stretch their lead at the top of Division One against Vale Rec today.

Injuries, illness and players away have forced the North boss to call up some of his younger players for today's big game, which kicks off at 2pm at Northfield.

Le Prevost confirmed that Scott Bougourd will start in the centre of midfield alongside his son Alex Le Prevost.

Jack Domaille, who led North's development team to Old Vic Cup glory on Wednesday night, looks set to replace Michael Wilson at centre back.

Wilson has come down with an illness that has been going around.

Also missing are Steve Ozanne, Paul Page and Gareth Holden, who are all away, and the injured Gavin Le Page.
