Trio have final chance

Colchester manager John Ward will make a final decision on three trialists this week. Lloyd James, James Walker and Ben Coker have all been training with the Us and played in Saturday's 2-0 friendly win over Dover Athletic. The trio will now be given one final chance to impress against Ryman League outfit Heybridge Swifts on Wednesday night. Ward told the Gazette: "They've been with us for a couple of weeks so they've got used to the group and they've got used to what I'm after."
