Silsden need to get three points from their visit to New Mills tonight in North West Counties Division Two if they are to have any chance of getting their tilt for promotion back on track.

It will be a tough ask after the Keighley outfit were beaten 4-0 at their main rivals Winsford United at the weekend.

Silsden have lost their momentum of late due to a thin squad and manager Andy Geary still has selection problems.

"With work commitments and injuries we are down to the bare bones but we need a win tonight and on Thursday against leaders Cammell Laird to get back in the frame," said Geary.

"The trouble is with the games coming thick and fast things will not get any easier, but three points at New Mills would lift everything and everyone."

James Nettleton begins a one-week suspension and others are carrying injuries. Matthew Bland, Michael Rhodes and Gavin Finn are ruled out because of their day jobs.

In the Northern Counties East Premier Division, Liversedge have home advantage over Glasshoughton Welfare and, following a defeat at title-chasing Selby Town on Saturday, they are another club that needs points.

"Club captain Chris Walton is missing again because he can't make midweek games due to work," said manager Eugene Lacy. "But Wayne Crossley is back from a six- week suspension."

Eccleshill United are also at home and have to change their side.

"I have lost Jamie Buchan because he is working down in Wales, Andy Howland because he has a big semi-final at Woodlesford with Bolton Woods and Paul Newsome, who pulled his back muscles gardening on Sunday," said manager Ray Price.

Thackley's scheduled fixture at Hallam has been put back to Thursday because of the fixture congestion of their opponents.
