COLNE welcome third placed Squires Gate to Holt House boosted by a derby win over Bacup midweek.

After a run of four matches without a victory, Colne got back on the right track with Ben Callon and Jonathan Irvine netting the goals in a 2-1 win.

It was Irvine's first goal for his club since his move from neighbours Nelson a couple of months ago and it was a huge confidence boost for the frontman.

"Chuck made no mistake from inside the box and I was pleased for him," said player-boss John Lister.

And while the Colne chief is happy with his side's derby form, he hopes they can now take it into the final run-in.

"We have now been unbeaten against Padiham, Darwen and Bacup this season," said Lister. "And we have shared the honours with Nelson with a win apiece so taking into account the sides in this area we haven't done bad against our neighbours."

Gavin Cooper will continue his comeback from a bad knee injury.
