Three of the area's top semi-pro sides are in action tonight.

In the Northern Counties East Premier Division, Eccleshill United take on leaders Brigg Town.

United will be full of confidence after Saturday's 3-1 win over Garforth Town. Midfielder Andy Sutcliffe is back in the squad after a short break.

Three points would lift Thackley out of the relegation zone but they have a tough match against second-placed North Ferriby United.

Three players had to pull out of the Thackley squad before Saturday's 2-2 draw at Brodsworth MW but manager Trevor Best includes them all tonight.

"Shane Mazurke has an ankle injury and Paddy Flaherty is still troubled by his ankle so they are doubtful," said Best. "But Mark Hemingway missed the game because he had been in Brussels and was held up by traffic at Dover, so he is back.

"We are patching Tim Ryder up game-by-game so he and Steve Warburton, who had to play a full game on Saturday even though he wasn't 100 per cent fit, are doubts."

Farsley Celtic take on Belper Town in UniBond Division One.

Captain Steve Learoyd is still missing from the centre of defence with a back problem so Matt Surtees continues to deputise. Playmaker Paul Wharton sits out the last game of his three-match ban and with Richard Harrison unavailable there is a recall for young Wes Freeman.
