MIKE Farrelly will take charge of Radcliffe Boro team affairs for tomorrow's tough Unibond Division One away trip to fifth in the table Matlock Town.

The assistant manager steps into the hot seat as Kevin Glendon was rushed to hospital last Saturday after being taken ill travelling home from 3-1 home win over Leek Town. Tests have shown angina to be the problem and the Stainton Park has been ordered to take it easy.

Boro go into the Derbyshire trip five points clear at the top of the table but with second placed Harrogate Town who are away at Trafford having three games in hand.

Atherton Colls seven game unbeaten run came to an abrupt halt on Tuesday in a 4-0 NWCL Division One defeat at Newcastle Town so its a case of dust yourself off and start all over again with Salford City the visitors to Alder House.

Atherton LR travel to Fleetwood Freeport. Daisy Hill include new signing Adrian Briggs from West Lancs League outfit Fulwood Amateurs in their squad for the home Division Two clash with Leek CSOB.

Two local sides compete in top Lancashire competition quarter finals tomorrow with Rivington away at I Zingari League Old Zaverians in the LFA Amateur Cup and Elton Fold travelling to Charnock Richard in the Amateur Challenge Shield.

Full back Mike Langhorn looks set to return for Rambottom United in the away fixture at Glossop North End. Fellow defender Dave Roach is manager Mike Kelly,s one and only injury doubt.
