BOTTOM of the table Preston travel to Windsor Park to play Chorley on Saturday -- and they reckon they have a good chance of pulling off a surprise win.
Tony Hesketh says his team are looking forward to the challenge because Chorley have been dismissed for 60 and 61 in their last two Northern Premier League league games and their confidence can hardly be sky high.
Preston are firmly rooted at the bottom of the table with only 11 points from their seven games but Chorley aren't exactly setting the league alight, struggling as they are in eighth place.
The Victory Park outfit suffered a particular humiliation against old rivals Darwen on Monday afternoon when they slumped badly in reply to Darwen's cavalier 230 for 4.
Leyland have a tough home game because Lancaster, their opponents, have won their last two league games, including their local derby against Morecambe.
Across town, at Sandy Lane, Leyland DAF play hosts to Fleetwood. David Makinson's side should start the match with confidence after their superb all-round performance against Leyland.
Nevertheless, Fleetwood are in fine form having won their last two league matches, with their captain John Wright carrying his bat in both games and their professional Abbas Ali scoring a century against Blackpool.
Netherfield are topping the table with 73 points followd by Darwen on 60. DAF are second bottom on 19 and Leyland are just above them on 26.
