It's Non League Day as The Ridge face Charnock Richard at home.

Ashcroft's men will be hoping to make it a 3rd win in four games as Town rise up that form table having confirmed safety.

A good start would be revenge over a local side that beat them in their previous encounter.

The Opposition

Whilst sat in the middle of the pack, Charnock Richard are still mathematically in contention for playoffs.

However it would be some feat to catch up to the top 5 especially given their recent 4-0 hammering at home to Chadderton, but a win on Saturday would do their confidence the world of good.

Last season at the RLG, Town ran our 2-1 as a Jack Arrowsmith brace cancelled out a Nathas Nickeas leveller.

The winger would be our pick for one to watch this weekend, with Nickeas sat on 24 goals.

Midfielder and captain Lewis Haydock is also one to keep an eye out for, with striker Rustam Stepans also sat on 21 goals for the campaign.

Ryan Donnellan's men are clearly no stranger to goals, especially having scored 20 in their past six matches, they'll be a tough side to stop.

Team News

Longridge Town have recently reacquired the services of attacker Jack Anderton.

With 'Ginge' being a fan favourite and no stranger to the Ridge, it is a massive boost to Ashcroft and his side.

On the more negative side, Daniel Wilkinson is confirmed to miss the rest of the season through injury.
