DARWEN face Preston at Birch Hall tomorrow in the Bay Northern Premier League.

Darwen will be looking to bounce back from defeat in the Lancashire Cup last Sunday in which the farcical rain rules played a major part.

A victory for Darwen could take them to the top of the league if other results go their way.

Preston will be looking to turn their season around after four straight defeats.

Darwen name an unchanged team for Saturday's game.

Darwen's veteran wicketkeeper Graham Parkinson said: "We must meet the opposition head on."

On Sunday Darwen travel to Ormskirk in the third round of the National Knockout. Graham Parkinson is unavailable and Keith Semple is ineligible. They are replaced by Andrew Cook and Edward Grant.

Chorley travel to Lancaster tomorrow hoping to build on their Lancashire Knockout tie win against Leigh last Sunday.

Lancaster's Lune Road has not been a happy hunting ground for the Windsor Park men in recent years.

On Sunday, Nantwich visit Chorley in the third round of the National Knockout Cup (1.30pm start).
