After a magnificent victory away at FC United of Manchester, Tommy Lawson's men host Witton Albion for what is usually a real closely fought footballing encounter.

It is hoped that centre-forward Dan Mitchley will be available again after an injury he picked up at Buxton two weeks and prevented his starting last week against Frickley Athletic. All other players other than Dean Astbury are expected to be fit and ready.

Over the following ten days Skelmersdale will need to dig deep intio their resolve as they face three difficult away games in consecutive games. Tuesday sees then away to Blyth Spartans, followed by a Saturday trip to Stamford and a Tuesday visit to Ashton United. All potentially tough games that are exacerbated by being one after the other.
