LEE KISSOCK will be all fired up and ready to go when Radcliffe Borough come calling at Colwyn Bay in the FA Cup on Saturday.

The likeable Scouser was a regular in the Boro side until midway through last season, but following the return of Neill Hardy from Stockport last summer it became obvious that Kissock's first team chances would become even slimmer with Richard Landon and Ian Lunt also in the running for places.

Hardy and Jody Banim, last season's top scorer for Boro with 28 goals, were always going to be manager Kevin Glendon's first choice pairing up front this season.

And while they still haven't quite gelled as yet. Kissock knew it was time to seek pastures new.

"Kevin couldn't guarantee me a place in Boro's starting line-up. We had a few words and I felt that a change would be good for both of us," said Kissock, looking back on his departure from Stainton Park.

The Fazackerley hitman's next port of call was Southport. "I did pre-season training with them and had a couple of games, but nothing materialised and I signed for Colwyn Bay a couple of weeks into the season."

The North Wales outfit are currently languishing at the bottom of the UniBond Premier Division table, but Kissock has done well for them in his short time there, scoring four goals, and his new manager, Colin Caton, says: "That's not a bad return, considering he hasn't made that many starts for us. Lee will feature in some shape or form on Saturday."

Boro are hoping to be at full strength, minus the suspended Scott Wilson, who serves the second of a four-match ban picked up after his second sending-off of the season in the home game against Belper on September 21.
