Lilywhites try again

MOSSLEY will again try to welcome Curzon Ashton to Seel Park tonight in the Evo-Stik League Division One North (7.45pm kick-off).

The clash was called off on Monday afternoon as the playing surface hadn’t recovered sufficiently enough from the icy snap.

But Lilywhites manager Shaun Higgins believes there is a chance the fixture will get the green light tonight.

He said: “It wasn’t quite there on Monday — not a million miles away, but not up to standard.

“We think there is a decent chance that this second attempt will be successful. It’s at least 50-50.”

Higgins’ side have not played a home match since November 23, when they saw off Trafford 6-0.

Mossley travel to Woodley Sports on Saturday.

The use of Woodley’s 3G pitch has given the Lilywhites hope that the fixture will go ahead.
