HAVING won their derby match against Oldham last Sunday, Crompton will be hoping to dish out some more neighbourly grief to Royton at Glebe Street on Sunday.

Crompton warm up for this game with a trip to Clifton tomorrow, while Royton entertain an Ashton side showing improved form in recent weeks.

Oldham face a daunting task at leaders Norden tomorrow, but a home game against Unsworth 24 hours later looks a little easier.

Werneth returned to winning ways against Unsworth on Sunday and the Coppice outfit will be keen to continue their revival at home to Littleborough tomorrow and at basement boys Radcliffe on Sunday.

TOMORROW: Clifton v Crompton, Middleton v Radcliffe, Milnrow v Heywood, Norden v Oldham, Royton v Ashton, Unsworth v Rochdale, Walsden v Monton and Weaste, Werneth v Littleborough.

SUNDAY: Ashton v Milnrow, Crompton v Royton, Heywood v Walsden, Littleborough v Middleton, Monton and Weaste v Norden, Oldham v Unsworth, Radcliffe v Werneth, Rochdale v Clifton. Matches start at 1.15pm
