BACUP: Brent Peters' side had a first game derby victory over Padiham and face a trip to Chadderton tomorrow in the NWCL Division Two.

"It doesn't matter who you play in the first games, they are always at full strength and raring to go," said Peters. Ex-Rochdale player Jason Lanns is so far proving the star of the show with the winner against the Storks. PADIHAM: Boss Graham Howarth looks likely to start with a new strike force of Dean Stowe and Lee Chambers as they look to break their goalscoring duck.

The Storks have lost their opening two games but will be hoping to make an impact against Oldham in the NWCL Division Two match at the Arbories.

Both frontmen have been prolific goalscorers in the past but are coming back to fitness. And former Burnley FC trainee Robbie Smith could get a start in midfield. CHORLEY: Striker Danny Mills is a doubt for the Magpies as they welcome Farsley Celtic to Victory Park in the UniBond First Division.

Last season's top scorer injured his knee in the midweek 3-0 win over Workington but boss Ken Wright is hopeful.

"We got ice on it straight away so we'll have a look at it," said the boss. The Chorley chief thinks his side's inconsistency played a big part in them finishing tenth last season -- and he wants them to be up there challenging this time out. "We lost the opening day game and we were indifferent. But we responded well, are back on track and need to build up a level of consistency. STAND: The newly promoted NWCL Division Two side sent a spying mission to Victoria Park where tomorrow's opponents NELSON were soundly beaten 3-0 by Squires Gate on Wednesday.

But assistant boss Nick Woods won't be fooled: "Nelson are a good side and they will act as a yardstick for us."

Nelson will be disappointed with the loss after a convincing 4-2 win opening day victory over Ashton and John Bailey's whose side are eyeing a promotion slot after just missing out in the last two games, will be keen to get them back on track.

Stand, with one win and one draw, have a clean bill of health for their trip." COLNE: John Lister's side, who finished in the bottom two last season, will be bouyed by a midweek win over Oldham. They travel to Alsager in the NWCL Division Two tomorrow while DAREWN are without a game.
