Thackley will be aiming to catch high-flying Brigg Town cold tomorrow when the FA Cup heroes head for Dennyfield and a top-six clash in the Northern Counties East Premier Division.

Thackley boss Andy Taylor said: "It is a tough month for us the way the fixtures have fallen but if we are to achieve our potential these are the kind of games we must win.

"We can't go for another season saying we are a young team who will do well in the future."

Taylor said midfielder Amjad Iqbal was fully recovered from a stomach virus and had looked sharp in training.

Striker Andy Patterson, utility-man Matt Surtees and skipper Craig Sugden are all back in contention after recovering from slight injuries.

Liversedge are also at home tomorrow and take on Chesterfield-outfit Glapwell. Sedge boss Wayne Bruce has urged his players not to let the momentum built up before the holiday period go to waste.

They battled their way out of the relegation zone and another good run could see them into mid-table security.

Andy Yates is back in contention for a midfield spot following a rib injury but Danny Cooper is still out with knee ligament damage.

Eccleshill United need points more than ever as they slide closer to the relegation trapdoor but they could have a saviour in Gary Shaw for the trip to Alfreton Town.

The accomplished Shaw is as comfortable in the back four as he is as a striker and has agreed to a short stint back with United on loan from Farsley Celtic.

Celtic are equally desperate for points after falling towards the relegation places in the UniBond Division One. They have home advantage but will be hard pressed to get anything from the visit of third-placed Leek Town.

Recent singings Benn Gallagher, from neighbours Guiseley, and Gavin Bassender, from Gainsborough Trinity, are set to make debuts.

Guiseley face a stern test when they travel to Nottingham's Eastwood Town.

Neil Parsley's men held a full-scale practice match at Nethermoor on Wednesday to aid their preparations.

Bradford Park Avenue next play on Monday in a friendly against Brighouse Town.
