The levels of difficulty and excitement do not appear to drop for Farsley Celtic as they enter the final straight in their race to beat the drop from the Blue Square Premier.

The Celts will be heading south tomorrow for an overnight stay before taking on Torquay United on Saturday.

The club from the English Riviera are second in the table and seeking an immediate return to the Football League following last season's relegation.

"We are all looking forward to it as it is great to play against clubs with these types of backgrounds and traditions," said Celts manager John Deacey, who has been involved at Throstle Nest since the days of the old UniBond Division One.

"I think this is the hardest game we have left this season. Torquay are in the runners-up place and will be desperate for the points for their own reasons.

"Some of the other clubs we have to play have got nothing to play for and it could be easier to go there and get a positive result.

"That doesn't mean we are going into Saturday's game expecting nothing. We want something from it and will give everything in the pursuit of points.

"We are at full strength with no injuries or suspensions, so I have a selection headache.

"Roy Stamer is the only slight doubt. He twisted an ankle, so will need a fitness test in the morning, and then we will see if there is any reaction to that.

"He played against Weymouth last Saturday and scored one of the goals. He was fine after that but picked up the injury playing for the reserves against Bradford Park Avenue in midweek.

"Roy is one of the players who needs a bit of match fitness after spending time on the bench in recent weeks, so we threw a few in against Avenue for that second-team fixture."

Deacey is looking for the same effort his players put in against Burton Albion, who went second when Farsley played them on Easter Monday.

"They were a well-organised, well-managed side challenging at the top end, just like Torquay," said Deacey.

"We played well against them and lost 1-0, whereas we didn't play as well against Weymouth last Saturday but got three points and scored four goals. It is a strange game and, fingers crossed, we will score some more goals at Torquay.

"It will be the most difficult of our remaining fixtures, because they are hoping to chip away at Aldershot's lead and also because of the journey.

"We have to set off tomorrow, as there is no way I would be able to get the players right if we had travelled on match day. There would have been no guarantee we would have even got there before kick-off time."
