Longridge are looking to recover from five straight defeats.

Despite a more than serviceable performance, Town fell victim to a 94th minute winner from FC St Helens.

The Ridge were then well beaten after a poor second half in Irlam.

The boys will now have to go again and take on play-off chasing Padiham.

Town will be looking to now get this game out of the way, having been postponed twice.

Pound for the ground will be back on sale, where you can win up to £200 in our half time jackpot draw, depending on number of entries.

A massive thank you for your support on the season long club fundraiser.

Also a thank you to the Hilltop Brassiere for sponsoring tonight's game.

The Opposistion

The Storks' promotion charge is very much back underway.

A tough run of form since the turn of the new year saw their perfect start to the season derail somewhat, as they dropped out of the top five.

However, Saturday's win over West Didsbury & Chorlton saw them jump back into the play-off spots.

With less than 10 games now, Michael Morrison's side need to keep it up.

Jack Price is the man that Town always have to look out for, as he always bags against them.

The attacking midfielder bagged a brace in the side's last meeting, including a 95th minute winner to send his side through in the LFA Cup.

He is now up to 16 goals for the season.

Striker Joel Brownhill will undoubtably be a thorn in the side as always.

However, the sides have faced off against each other enough to know how strong the Storks side is.

The head-to-head proves that, with Town winning just one of the nine meetings between the two.
