Bradford Park Avenue go into tomorrow's top six clash with Matlock Town at Horsfall Stadium still with a faint hope of gaining promotion from the UniBond Division One.

Manager Trevor Storton warns it will be a tough task for his fifth placed side, the visitors trail Avenue by four points but have played twice more.

Skipper Wayne Benn is ruled out with ankle damage and he could yet miss the rest of the season. Striker Jason Maxwell, Mark Hancock and recent signing Mark Wilson all begin suspensions.

Guiseley face the first of the two meetings with Whitby Town that could prove crucial as they strive to secure their UniBond Premier Division status.

Player-manager Bobby Davison is doubtful with a hamstring injury.

Thackley slipped to the foot of the Northern Counties East Premier Division table with last week's unfortunate 1-0 defeat at neighbouring Liversedge.

Midfielder Mark McNamara has recovered from a groin injury and is named in an unchanged squad for the visit of Glasshoughton Welfare.

In the same division Eccleshill United have no new injury worries when they travel to Sheffield because Wednesday's trip to Hallam was postponed.

Liversedge have first choice keeper Richard Bibby back from a bout of blood poisoning and forward Colin Williamson has been given permission to play at Denaby United because no issues rest on the result.

The recent wet weather has already put a doubt over Farsley Celtic's journey to Workington.
