Ashcroft who will make his debut for North West Counties side Holker Old Boys at Ashton Town tonight said: “It’s a big night in the history of Longridge Town Football Club tomorrow not only because the Richardson Cup is on our radar to win this season, but it’s our first home game ever under lights.”

Fans are urged to get to the MRG early tomorrow and season ticket holders should note that their cards are NOT VALID for this cup-tie.

The game is ALL PAY ON THE NIGHT - £3 (including special souvenir programme).

While winter rains have hampered the season so far it is not expected to call a halt to this re-arranged fixture with the Cumbrian side - a side Town have already done the double over in the West Lancs League Premier Division this season, including a 3-0 win on Walney Island 10 days ago.
