As mentioned in the tagline, Town are looking to make it five games unbeaten.

However, on paper tonight brings a very tough away game, but as we know football isn't played on paper.

A massive thank you for your support over on the Isle of Man at the weekend.

Anyone travelling over tonight will be massively appreciated, trying to help the boys on a nippy night in Bolton.

The Opposition

Atherton Laburnum Rovers are on a brilliant upward trajectory.

If you weren't aware, LR completed a tremendous treble last season.

This included the NWCFL Division One North title, The First Division Trophy and the Edward Case Cup.

They sit 12th after flying off at the start of the season, winning 7 games in a row.

However, they were beaten 1-0 at Inglewhite Road in the reverse fixture, with starman Thomas Romano missing a late penalty.

They have since lost their 6 games on the bounce, from one extreme to the other.

That said, maybe they're due a result.

We know how tough Crilly Park is to go to, especially given the fact that LR are yet to draw a game this season, they only Premier Division side with that record.

If that is to continue, tonight's game could go either way.

Team News

There's no doubt about something though.

Both of Town's weekend goals will end up on the end of season highlight reel.

A cracking free kick from Jack Anderton and a 30 yard screamer from Connor High weren't enough to win Town anymore than a point in Douglas on Saturday night.

However, it was great to see the Ridge army in mass numbers overseas.

Chairman Kevin Harrison spoke after the game after filling in for the unavailable coaching staff.

"It's looking positive at the moment, there's so many positives to take from today.

"They've all done their bit and I'm so proud of them.
