The key battle

Kayode Odejayi v Jamal Blackman

Journeyman striker Odejayi is now applying his trade with Guiseley.  Now 36, the forward has spent the most of his career in the Football League with clubs including Bristol City, Barnsley, Colchester United and Rotherham United.  Goalkeeper Blackman will be looking to prevent him from scoring at Nethemoor Park.
