RAMSBOTTOM United have the incentive of a home tie against Consett awaiting them in the next round of the Carlsberg FA Vase providing they can overcome Tow Law Town tonight in a second round replay.

Ken Bridge's men drew 1-1 in the North East on Saturday and they will be hoping home advantage can see them through tonight.

Meanwhile, Clitheroe's reward for their extra time victory over Morpeth at the weekend is a tough away tie at Newcastle Town.

Elsewhere, there's a packed programme tonight in the Lancashire FA Marsden Challenge Trophy first round.

Bacup Borough take on Burscough at West View (kick off 7.45pm), Rossendale United entertain Radcliffe Borough at Dark Lane (7.45pm) and Clitheroe are at home to Atherton Collieries.

And Nelson's game with UniBond League high-flyers Leigh RMI has also been brought to tonight after originally being scheduled for tomorrow.
