GRAHAM Haworth is hoping the rain stays away as Padiham look for their first action in three weeks.
The Arbories side have seen their last two fixtures against Great Harwood Town and Holker Old Boys beaten by the weather so Haworth is hoping it is not third time lucky at Leek CSOB.
He said: "The last two weeks have been a complete wash out. We had a friendly game against Ramsbottom United on the astro turf at Gawthorpe last week.
"While it was good to have a run-out it's not the same as the real thing."
Padiham, currently sixth in NWCL Division Two, go to 13th place Leek with a strong squad.
"Apart from Craig Wilkinson, who has just returned to training, I have all my players to choose from. We just need a game now," added Haworth.
