ACCRINGTON Stanley will be looking to extend their unbeaten run to 13 games when they travel to third-from-bottom Bamber Bridge on Boxing Day.

John Coleman's men will be disappointed at only drawing against UniBond Premier League leaders Burton on Saturday after leading 3-1.

But bouncing back at Bamber Bridge, who until recently were managed by former Stanley boss Tony Greenwood, would be just the tonic the Reds need going into the second half of the season (ko 3pm).

In the First Division, promotion chasing Rossendale United have a huge game when they travel to the league leaders Radcliffe Borough (ko 3pm).

Jim McCluskie's men will come up against their former striker in Jody Banim.

The hot shot helped Dale win promotion from the NWCL Division One last season but was released in the summer.

He made the short trip to Stainton Park and has so far bagged 19 goals making him the top scorer in the First Division.

McCluskie will know all about him and will have to hope their star striker Craig Sargeson and recent addition Troy Hayder are in top form.

Also in the First Division, Chorley welcome Trafford to Victory Park looking to continue their charge up the league (ko 3pm).

In the NWCL Division One Clitheroe will be looking to get back on track in the league at the expense of former manager Denis Underwood.

Underwood is manager of Great Harwood who have now gone 14 games without a win in the league and are desperately searching for a victory which they will hope will come at Shawbridge (ko 3pm).

There's was one of the few games to go ahead on Saturday and Underwood may wish it hadn't as Harwood crashed to their fourth successive defeat - a 2-0 loss at Skelmersdale.

The Blues, meanwhile, need to boost their title bid after four league games without a win.

Meanwhile Ramsbottom United are at home to Abbey Hey (ko 3pm).

In Division Two, Steve Wilkes and Brent Peters clash at West View when Bacup take on Darwen (ko 3pm).

The two managers shook hands before their last derby encounter to bury a feud but both will be looking to get one over the other and boost their own bid to make a charge at the top of the table.

And at Holt House, in-form Colne welcome out-of-sorts Nelson looking to get one over their main rivals (ko 3pm).

John Lister's side have had a great season so far whereas Nelson, among the pre season favourites, have struggled and need to get on a run if they are to stand any chance of making an impact at the top.

Finally, runaway league leaders Stand welcome Padiham to Ewood Bridge (ko 3pm).
