ON Saturday Morecambe were gunning for glory in the FA Cup with a glamour tie against Premiership side Ipswich.

Tonight it's another cup competition but the surroundings of Stainton Park and a Lancashire Marsden Cup tie against Radcliffe Borough may lack some of the atmosphere savoured on Saturday.

Boro went down 3-2 at Matlock Town on Saturday in a Unibond Division One fixture and striker Neil Hardy misses again for Boro through injury. Midfielder Mark Dempsey, who despite feeling under the weather on Saturday, was the game's outstanding performer, will be subject to a late test but defender Eamon Kelly misses the game after starting a three match suspension.

The Stainton Park number is 0161 724 8346.

Another Conference side Leigh RMI are at home to Rossendale United when manager Steve Waywell is expected to include several of his fringe players.

In Round Two of the same competition Ramsbottom United face a searching away test at NWCL Division Two table toppers Squires Gate.

Midfielder Darren Bowman is expected to be fully fit after having a few days extra rest on the injury picked up on Boxing Day against Rossendale United when Saturday's home clash with Clitheroe was postponed.

Striker David Yorke-Robinson is still struggling to shake off a niggling ligament injury. (Rams - 01204 852742).
