Due set for Stanley debuts

Accrington could hand debuts to new recruits Sean Hessey and Charlie Barnett for their clash against Aldershot. Stanley get their season under way hoping to mount a play-off push boosted by the pair's arrival. Defender Hessey, 31, and midfielder Barnett, 21, penned one-year deals after the club had their transfer embargo lifted earlier in the week. Assistant manager Jimmy Bell believes Barnett "ticks all the boxes" and told the Lancashire Telegraph: "He is a player who can take us a step on. "He's a central midfielder who can play in the holding role or a bit further forward." Manager John Coleman has a clean bill of health for the encounter with new winger Andy Parkinson also hoping to feature in a fresh-looking midfield.
