IF THERE is any hope of a game escaping the cold snap this midweek, it is likely to be Albion Sports' home Premier Division derby against Liversedge in the Toolstation Northern Counties East League tonight.

The excellent surface at Throstle Nest provided the only fixture in the entire section on Saturday, when Kulwinder Sandhu's men hosted Parkgate. Albion were held to a 1-1 draw then so are still looking to break through the 40-point barrier.

They will be favourites to bank a maximum haul against Sedge, who are seven positions below tenth-placed Sports.
