ATHERTON LR aim to build on a thumping midweek victory when they host Hyde United in the FA Cup on Saturday (3pm) -- despite losing captain Ian Callaghan to Chorley.
Callaghan's form at the centre of LR's defence has won him a move to the Unibond First Division side.
But LR go into Saturday's second qualifying round tie on the back of a 6-1 win at Squires Gate in midweek. Nick Ward will return in goal after missing Tuesday night's game, but midfielder Jason Kay is doubtful with an ankle knock.
Hyde, managed by former Leigh RMI boss Steve Waywell, lie third in the Unibond Premier Division.
Atherton Collieries manager Alan Lord will come up against his protege at Trafford in Division One (3pm).
Trafford boss Danny Johnson was Lord's assistant at Atherton LR.
Collieries are unbeaten in three matches, but will be without suspended captain Neil Rhodes.
Daisy Hill host Padiham in the first round of the League Challenge Cup (3pm).
