Lake Garage CLL by SIMON SMEDLEY

PROMOTION-chasing Crompton are in terrific form at present in the Lake Garage CLL Championship — but their credentials are sure to be tested at Middleton tomorrow.

Simon Wright’s in-form side are right in the mix behind clear leaders Monton and Weaste, but fifth-placed Middleton are sure to be determined to end Crompton’s winning streak.

The Glebe Street side extended their excellent run last weekend as they crushed Ashton in a rain-interrupted fixture.

Monton will be confident of extending their advantage at the division’s summit as they host rock-bottom Oldham, who have won just twice in the league this season.
