Kendal Town face an important away game tomorrow after last week’s disappointing 3-2 home defeat to Easington Colliery.

Penrith have an attractive home game at Frenchfield against Horden who are currently challenging for a play-off place in seventh.
Two successive postponements have kept Penrith idle but manager Jim Nichols has a full squad to pick from apart from centre-back Will Morrey who was injured in training last night.
Carlisle City don’t have a fixture tomorrow but are due to be back in action on Tuesday with a home game against West Auckland.
In the North West Counties Holker Old Boys are off to Greater Manchester to take on Daisy Hill in Westhoughton.
The two sides only met 11 days ago at Rakemoor Lane when Holker salvaged a 2-2 draw with a late goal.

Windscale will be looking to get back to winning ways in the Wearside League with a home game against joint bottom Annfield Plain.
Their visitors have won three and lost 17 of their 20 fixtures and have conceded 144 goals, scoring only 17 themselves.
But Windscale boss Stephen Fawcett is not being fooled by those statistics. Annfield Plain have recently changed managers and the new man has brought in a number of new players with results improving.
The Atoms will be without skipper Reece Fretwell, Andrew Begbie and Lewis Selkirk but still have a strong 15-strong squad to pick from.
