CHORLEY get a second chance to reach the quarter-final of the FA Trophy tonight when they play Boreham Wood in a third round replay at Victory Park.
And the Magpies have an added incentive to win. The victors have a home draw against Gateshead.
Manager Dave Sutton said: "I think there's a determination to finish the job off," said Sutton.
"They're a reasonable side and Brian Stein and a lad call Samuels alongside him present a good strike force. Their weakness is a lack of pace at the back." Haslingden are also in cup action and play Newcastle Town at Ewood Bridge in the second leg of their Floodlit Trophy semi-final after drawing the first 0-0 (kick-off 7.45pm).
Player-boss Steve Parry said: "It is one of the most important games of the season for us. The lads have done well to get this far."
Winger Alex Binnie has been ruled out with an ankle ligament injury.
North West Counties' League First Division action completes the night's action. Clitheroe travel away to play Burscough, while Ian McGarry's Darwen entertain Nantwich.
