CLITHEROE: Dave Burgess's FA Vase hopefuls turn their attentions to the league tomorrow as they travel to top-of-the-table Salford City in NWCL Division One.

It is a game the Blues must win to keep their hopes of promotion alive, but they go without top scorer Lee Cryer, who has a slight hamstring strain.

Carl Greenwood and Martin Aspinwall are also doubtful.

Burgess said: "We have always bounced back from defeats this season so after getting beat off Bamber Bridge on Tuesday I am hoping we can bounce back again.

"This is a game we must win. Salford look like they're in a false position at the top of the league because everyone else has so many games in hand but they have the points in the bag. Everyone else has to get those points."
