ECCLESHILL United will be looking to bounce back to winning ways tomorrow when Bottesford Town visit the Mitton Group Stadium in the Toolstation Northern Counties East League Premier Division.

The Eagles were knocked out of the NCEL League Cup by Division One side Selby Town in midweek, despite dominating the game and having plenty of chances, the clinical visitors earned a 3-1 win to progress to the quarter-finals.

Bottesford town were also on the losing end of a 3-1 scoreline in midweek after being defeated by second place, Worksop Town away from home, meaning both sides will be hoping to put a poor midweek result behind them.

Despite the scoreline, Sean Regan’s squad was boosted by the return of Luke Harrop, who has finished top goalscorer at the club for the past two years, and the Eagles will also have midfield veteran Andy Cooper available again at the weekend.

In the league, Eccleshill United are undefeated since November, a run that the squad will be keen to continue if possible, while the visiting side have had a fairly mixed start to the new year.

The Poachers head into the game having won three games, drawn two, and lost three, having scored in every single game so far in 2019, proving their attacking prowess.

Just one place separates the two evenly matched sides in the table, with Bottesford sitting in 10th place, while Eccleshill United are 11th. There are just four points between the two teams, although the Eagles do have two games in hand.

When the two teams last met it was Bottesford who earned three points in a 2-0 victory that the Eagles will be keen to gain revenge for.

In-form Khurram Shazad will be looking to continue his impressive goalscoring run, having scored two goals in as many games in what has been a great February for the attacking midfielder.

Elsewhere in the Premier Division, Albion Sports travel to 12th-placed Barton Town, Liversedge host Staveley Miners Welfare and Thackley entertain Hemsworth Miners Welfare, who are fourth.

In Division One, joint leaders Campion host Selby Town, who are eighth.

In the Hallmark Security League Premier Division, Silsden hope for better luck at home than last week, when they face Congleton Town at the Cobbydale Construction Stadium.
