Non-League Soccer: Bradford Park Avenue will be desperate to put the disappointment of Wednesday's County Cup final defeat behind them when they travel to Belper Town in the UniBond Division One tomorrow.

The Derbyshire club, locked in mid-table, have nothing to play for while Avenue could move up to fifth with a win.

With four matches left, all away from home, any finish above their current eighth would set a record high for the club since its reformation.

Manager Trevor Storton, who adds Jonathan Jones to the squad after he was cup tied for the 2-0 defeat by Ossett Albion, said: "We have to let that result go. We have it in us to reach other cup finals."

In the Northern Counties East Premier Division Thackley have home advantage in the big derby clash with nearest neighbours Eccleshill United.

Both sides are safe but neither is challenging for a top eight place and President's Cup qualification. The atmosphere of rivalry, however, will make it far from a dour end-of-season affair.

Garry Cox returns to keep goal for the home side, as does midfielder Darren Hunt after suspension. Matt Brown and Nigel Denby are also back in contention.

Eccleshill have central defenders Andy Taylor and Martin Pattison missing but skipper Andy Wilkinson is restored to the heart of defence.

Paul Bulgin has recovered from injury and Mark Senior and Ian Heppinstall are back after representing Bradford Boys last Saturday at Hampden Park.

Liversedge will have Craig Lawford back from a groin injury when they visit Glasshoughton Welfare in the same division.

Guiseley's chances of the UniBond Premier Division title were ended by their midweek defeat at Blyth Spartans, but victory at second-placed Worksop Town tomorrow would maintain hopes of the runners-up spot and boost confidence ahead of Tuesday's League Cup final.

Farsley Celtic ended their wretched run of 12 games without a win in Division One with a 1-0 success at Trafford last night. Robbie Whellans netted in the 70th minute, his 31st goal of the season, to give Celtic their three points.

They face a visit from Burscough tomorrow and add Paul Stevenson, Wayne Noteman and Simon Woodhead to their squad.
