Town take on Guiesley AFC tomorrow in a rearranged league fixture. Guiseley originally made the made the trip to Cumbria at the start of September only to see the game abandoned in torrential rain.

As one of Town’s two games in hand over their league superiors, Lee Ashcroft will be desperate to steal a march on Town’s promotion rivals. Kick-off Saturday is at 3pm.

The Lancashire club, who have played two more games than Kendal, are currently third, just four points from top spot. With North West pride at stake the match promises to be well worth the one-hour car journey. Kick-off time is dependant on new floodlights – see www.fylderugby. co.uk for details.
