The Dennyboys must travel to Athersley Recreation in the Premier Division who lost 2-1 at home to promotion-chasing Bridlington Town in midweek.

Liversedge remain at the foot of the top-tier table after their four-match unbeaten run was ended by defeat at Cleethorpes Town.

Jonathan Rimmington’s men will look to put that behind them and get their survival bid back on track when they host mid-table Rainworth MW.
