N/West Preview: Top of the table clash

By James Gordon

There’s a top of the table clash in the BetVictor Northern N/West Division this weekend, as first-place Workington travel to next best Ramsbottom United.

Ramsbottom could take top spot if they claim a win over Workington, who are unbeaten in their last three in all competitions.

Just one point separates the sides on the league table, with the Rams having the best attack of the two with 60 goals, while Workington have the best defence, conceding just 19.

In the play-offs, third-placed Marine, who added Liverpool goalkeeper Dan Atherton to their squad this week, will be looking to bounce back from their 2-0 defeat to Mossley as they face Brighouse Town.

Floodlight failed prevented Pontefract Collieries from closing the gap on the top three, as their fixture against Clitheroe on Tuesday night was abandoned.

They face Pickering Town, who sit at the foot of the table and have claimed four out of a possible six points in their last two league fixtures.

Tadcaster Albion take up the last spot in the play-offs, and they will travel away to Kendal Town, who sit 19th in the league.

In sixth spot, Marske United are just two-points behind Tadcaster and they host Prescot Cables, who have one win so far in 2020.

City of Liverpool host Droylsden with just one point separating the sides in the league, while Ossett United travel to Runcorn Linnets.

Clitheroe added 19-year-old midfielder Jack Baxter to their squad this week, on loan from Preston and his side face Dunston.

Following their impressive victory over Marine, Mossley face Widnes, and Trafford host Colne, who announced the signings of Chris Chantler and David Sherlock earlier this week.
