Play-off credentials will be tested

Non-league football: MOSSLEY players must prepare for an aerial bombardment tomorrow as they head north for a crunch game at Spennymoor Town.

The 10th-placed Lilywhites are unbeaten in their last eight games and have won their last four. But their play-off credentials are sure to be tested by a Spennymoor side currently fifth in the table.

Mossley joint-boss Peter Band acknowledges: “It’s going to be a tough call. They are a big, strong side – they’re all 6’3” lads and well-organised. We’ve got plenty of quality, though.”.

Striker Sam Robinson is set to be available again tomorrow following a spell out injured, but midfielder Aaron Hevingham is only rated 50-50.

Lilywhites have signed centre-half Danny Mukuna on loan from Hyde.

outfit Ashton Town in the quarter-final of the Reusch First Division Cup. Boro remain rooted to the bottom of the league table so a knock-out victory would presumably lift confidence at the Seel Park outfit.
