BILLY McEwan ran the rule over several trialists in a behind-closed doors match against Doncaster Rovers at the South Yorkshire side's Cantley Park training ground yesterday.

City, who fielded two different teams for both halves, won 3-2 and McEwan will give all the trialists another chance to impress when the pre-season programme kicks off at Frickley Athletic next Tuesday night.

McEwan is keeping the identity of his trailists under wraps for the time being.
