SILSDEN have 12 games to salvage their North West Counties Premier Division status.

The third-bottom Cobbydalers are four points from safety and deep in the relegation mire as they prepare for a tough Easter programme.

James Gill’s men are at home to table-topping Runcorn Linnets on Saturday before visiting third-placed Colne on Monday.

Silsden lost 1-0 at home to bottom team Alsager Town last Saturday before going down to a 2-1 defeat at 1874 Northwich on Tuesday.

Former Bradford City and Guiseley striker Danny Forrest scored their goal against Northwich and Silsden will be hoping for more from him in the crucial run in.
