Rossendale United are aiming to keep the FNWTL Floodlit Trophy in East Lancashire for another season when they take on Vauxhall in this year's final at Dark Lane tonight.

Last season, it was Dale's arch-rivals Clitheroe who put their name on the trophy.

Now, Graham wants to emulate those achievements and deliver his first piece of silverware since taking up the hot-seat at United.

"We've not been in a final for a while so this is a measure of how much progress we've made over the last couple of seasons," said Graham.

"Whatever happens between now and the end of the season we've had a great year.

"Vauxhall aren't the best side we have played in the league but they are certainly the most consistent.

"But we've got the chance twice in the next couple of days to prove we are just as good as them."

Dennis Hill and Steve Cunningham are both cup-tied otherwise Dale should be at full strength.
