Cronin to step into Gills void

25 August 2010 16:30
Lance Cronin is set to make his Gillingham debut after first choice keeper Alan Julian suffered a hairline fracture to his hand. Julian had been complaining of pain in his hand since pre-season, but X-rays have only just revealed the full extent of the injury. Cronin joined the Gills from Ebbsfleet in the summer and will make his first appearance against Morecambe on Saturday. Manager Andy Hessenthaler told Kent News: "Lance will play, simple. He's good enough and it's his chance to show what he can do now. "It's unfortunate for Alan but if Lance does well he'll keep the shirt."
