Subscriber only RIPLEY Valley FC head coach Nick Paterson is scouting new players after an injury crisis at the Capital League 1 club.

However, Paterson was hopeful of securing some extra back-up preparing for Sunday night s latest CL1 clash against Pine Hills at South Ripley.

It also said the WADA Executive Committee should be composed of more independent experts and that an independent monitoring mechanism should be established.
