Northgate vs Kay Street United

Saturday 24th February 10.30am

Following the frustration of another late cancellation in Macclesfield last week, Northgate are back at home three weeks after their last match, the tight 0-1 defeat to Poynton ending a winning run. Kay Street on the other hand have only played one league game since November and will be chomping at the bit to be back on the pitch. However, given the state of the surface three weeks ago it may be a totally different game to what they are used to on their 3G pitch.

With the history of Elkington and Clark playing for the Streeters there is always added spice in this fixture, but having suffered their biggest defeat of the season away in September, Northgate will be keen to put on a better display this time out and will be buoyed by the absence of hat-trick hero Wayne Archer.

Another full squad of 14 available is a boost to the Gaters, as is the return of Dave Tonks following his broken wrist. The absence of Morgan will be felt, but with Elkington back for his first game since November he is sure to be fired up against the club he served for eight years.

Mark Broomhall
Lawrie Campbell
