The Ridge travel to just north of Burnley to take on Barnoldswick Town in November's abandoned fixture.

Town were leading 2-1 in the 70th minute through Luke Smith and Will Procter, when torrential conditions forced the referee to stop play.

We do it all again tonight.

Your away support this year has been sensational, any Ridge army members travelling tonight would not go unappreciated.

The Opposition

The Barlick side has gone under major renovations this year, but one thing has stayed constant, the Hill brothers.

Both Andrew and Gareth pose a threat, but the latter maybe more so, with his 21 goals this season.

Winger Cuda Chingwaro will also post a big threat.

However goalkeeper Dale Latham has their joint most MOTM's, with four.

Bar last season, the Silentnight Stadium has been a pretty decent ground for Town on the road.

That said, Barlick have had their way at Inglewhite Road this season.

Town will be in for revenge, but Barlick have scored a lot of goals in all competitions, making the Silentnight Stadium a tough place to go.

Team News

Everyone at Longridge Town wishes Connor High all the very best for the future, as the midfielder departs the club.

However, it's one in one out for Town, with midfielder Yuwi Dewan joining the club and making his debut at the weekend.

Josh Ashe's three game suspension will begin on Saturday, after being sent off in Saturday's game.

However Leighton Hewitt got his second MOTM award in as many games.

Toby Coar also scored his first goal for the club.

Assistant manager Charlie Russell says how proud the former Longridge Town ball boy is.

"He's as proud as punch.

"He's plays on the edge, he plays wholehearted and up to now we can't fault him.

"He's a credit to the youth set-up here and a credit to his mum and dad as well because he's still very young but he's almost like a man in the dressing room and also out on the pitch, so we're made up for him.

"We'll keep supporting him, developing him and who knows where it'll take him".
