It's seventh vs ninth as we head to Kirklington Road (kick-off 3pm).

Four straight away games up next for The Miners as we seek to continue our unbeaten run. Tomorrow we visit seventh place Rainworth who, akin to ourselves nine days ago, go into this one looking to bounce back from a heavy defeat. Craig Denton's side were beaten 4-0 at Handsworth Parramore in midweek and will aim for a win to stay in touch with the top five. A goal from Calum Ward earned us a 1-0 victory on Cedar Ridge in September, and we could go level on points with Penistone in eighth if we can complete the double.

There was a rare occurance for Town supporters in this meeting last season on 19th November 2016; a 0-0 draw, but a better contest than the scoreline would suggest.

Pete Lawrie will replace the injured Steve Weatherill in goal, who is expected to be out for three weeks after damaging shoulder ligaments last Saturday. Aiden Kearsley also remains on the sidelines through injury. Otherwise, Rob Hunter (himself due to return from suspension next Wednesday) has a full squad to choose from.

Join us if you can, hope to see you there. Up the Miners!
