The injury and suspension stricken Ridge will need to conjure up quite the performance to get a result against an FC St Helens side who aren't far off challenging for the play-offs.

Longridge will likely have at least six players unavailable for tomorrow's game.

One wonders what football god we upset.

The Opposition

The Ridge met the Stripes on the opening day of the season, with Town coming from behind to win 2-1.

That now feels like a lifetime ago, with the end of the season now on the horizon.

FC St Helens are nine points off the top five, and only have their last three games to blame.

They've been in and around the top half for this year, and looked a decent bet to make a surge for the play-off spots.

They still might, if striker Joseph Barker can get back on scoring form.

His 25 goals last season had him up at the top of the charts.

So far this year he has bagged 13, and has form scoring against Longridge in recent times.

Goalkeeper Joe Mason has their joint most MOTM awards with five, level with defender Michael Ibeto.

Team news

Ready for a rundown on the injury list?

Pull up a chair.

Toby Coar, Ryan McLean and Liam Atkinson remain will potentially miss the rest of the season.

Ethan Edmundson is also likely to miss the majority of the final run-in with a shoulder problem.

Aaron Hewitt missed the mid-week game due to the knock he picked up last weekend.

Paul Turner will miss tomorrow's game too, after sustaining a nasty hand injury on Wednesday.

Mitch Marshall's suspension will begin on Tuesday night after being sent off in the same game.

It's looking pretty bleak.

However, we know this group.

They won't give in.
