Silsden face a tough away fixture in the Vodkat League on Saturday as they head to Merseyside to take on Bootle.

The Cobbydalers have had a bit of a renaissance and have hauled themselves up to mid-table in the Premier Division.

This weekend will be a yardstick as to how good their resurgence has been because although Bootle are sixth, they have played three more times than Silsden but the points disparity is only five.

Should the Cobbydalers be victorious, they will be within two points of their hosts but still have three games in hand.
