Non-league football: Weekend preview

Leigh RMI will be minus their midfield kingpin Dave Ridings for the visit of FA Umbro Trophy finalists Yeovil after he was stretchered off in Monday's 1-0 win at Stevenage.

Having beaten Stalybridge in midweek, Northwich can at least now do them a favour by denying Forest Green the victory which would be a further hammer blow to the Celts' already wafer-thin chances of survival.

In the UniBond premier, Altrincham, who, following a nightmare run, will simply be glad when the season's over, visit Gainsborough, while Droylsden, beaten by Worksop in Wednesday's Chairman's Cup final, will be seeking to avenge their 7-0 home thrashing by Burton when they visit Nigel Clough's newly-crowned the champions.

The scramble for promotion in division one continues with Ashton United hosting Workington and Radcliffe heading for Lincoln.

Atherton Collieries face Prescot in the NWCL's Worthington Trophy final at Bury's Gigg Lane ground tonight (7.30), while leaders Salford must beat red-hot title favourites Kidsgrove at Moor Lane if they're to stand any chance of holding off their championship challenge.
