NELSON boss Graham Howarth says he is looking forward to locking horns with his opposite number Brent Peters when his side faces Bacup at West View tomorrow.

And he's added much-needed fire power to his squad ahead of the game with former Bacup and Curzon Ashton striker Dave Gray joining the club.

And Howarth is hoping to have another striker on board before the weekend.

And Howarth is hoping his side can finally get their season underway after failing to record a win so far this season.

He said: "Scoring goals has been our problem.

"It should be a good game. I enjoy locking horns with Brent."

Striker Neil Chapman is still missing.
