THE visit of Bamber Bridge to Throstle Nest on Saturday is a key battle in Farsley’s quest to get back into the Evo-Stik First Division North promotion play-off places.

The Preston-based outfit are four points better off than Neil Parsley’s men having played a game more.

Time is running out for Farsley after two defeats and a draw from their last three league fixtures.

However, they did enjoy a confidence-boosting win over rivals Lancaster City in midweek to book their place in the League Cup semi-finals.

Parsley is hoping that fillip will help his players come out of their mid-season blip with all guns blazing in what he calls ‘a big month ahead’.

Brighouse Town head into Derbyshire to take on relegation-threatened New Mills, who are second bottom.
