PADIHAM are facing an injury crisis ahead of their home match against Holker Old Boys tomorrow.

Manager Steve Wilkes is without eight first team regulars: Barry Shuttleworth, Gavin King, Danny Dignan, Damien Morrison, Martin Broderick, Ed O'Neil, Chris Blundell and Ben Lloyd. And there are concerns over Andy Howarth (calf).

However, the one piece of good news is that striker Paul Fildes returns to the squad, although he is likely to be short of match fitness.
