Tadcaster Albion welcome Radcliffe Borough to Ings Lane on Saturday looking to keep their play-off hopes alive.
Michael Morton’s side come into the contest on the back of a valiant point at fellow play-off chasers Colne last Saturday despite playing with ten men for over 50 minutes.
Pete Davidson’s controversial first half dismissal made it an uphill challenge for the Brewers in more ways than one but the lads dug in admirably and could have in fact won it in the second half as several chances were squandered.
Borough have a familiar duo in the dugout in former professionals Jon Macken and Frank Sinclair and they have had a gruelling week prior to today’s encounter.
On Tuesday night they had the tough task of welcoming promotion hopefuls Scarborough Athletic to Stainton Park in which the North Yorkshire side ran out 3-1 winners.
Their midweek didn’t end their either as they were in action on Thursday night as they played out a goalless draw with six place Trafford.
In the reverse fixture back at the start of September, the Brewers left Manchester empty-handed despite Aiden Savory giving them an early lead as Borough ran out 3-2 winners.
A win for the Brewers would keep the pressure firmly on both Colwyn Bay and Colne as we enter the ‘nitty gritty’ stage of the season.
Team News: Michael Ingham is away with the i2i International Academy so Tom Young to deputise. Pete Davidson is available for selection after the club saw their appeal successful against the red card shown to the midfielder last week. Jason Mycoe and Josh Barrett to return to the squad after missing the draw at Colne. Aiden Savory to move back up front after filling in at the back. Ellis Barkworth looking to keep his place in the side.
