Chorley stage three important matches in three days at Windsor Park over the weekend. Title favourites Netherfield are the visitors tomorrow in the Northern Premier League while they take on second placed Darwen on Monday.

But the match that matters most to Chorley is a second meeting with Netherfield in 24 hours in Sunday's Slater Cup final.

Chorley will be completing a remarkable treble of appearing in both Northern League cup finals in each of the last three seasons.

But the Windsor Park men badly need a change of fortune, having been beaten in the previous five finals.

It was Netherfield who pipped Chorley in this season's Nuffield Hospitals Cup final three weeks ago and the Kendal club are still on course to crown a memorable campaign with four trophies, as they contest the Lancashire knockout final against Ormskirk at Old Trafford in a week's time.

Netherfield's only defeat this season was by Chorley in the National Knockout competition so the scene is set for a cracking contest on Sunday.
