ACC looking to build

-

BY SHELDAN KEAY

ACCRINGTON will look to build on their victory last weekend when they host Lowerhouse at Thorneyhol­me Road on Saturday.

Accrington are seventh in the table after nine wins from 15 games, and it will be a difficult match against Lowerhouse, who are in third place after 12 wins so far this season.

GREAT HARWOOD are also at home this weekend as they welcome Bacup to Cliffe Park.

Bacup suffered disappoint­ment last weekend as their game with Colne ended in a no result, leaving Bacup 18th in the table. Great Harwood are in 17th place, one position above their rivals, so they will want to avoid defeat this weekend as it would see Bacup leapfrog them in the table.

RISHTON have an away game to deal with as they make the trip to Bentgate to go up against Haslingden.

Haslingden are in 15th position after five wins from 15 games. Rishton have found things tough during the campaign, winning just three of their matches to leave them in 22nd.

14th placed ENFIELD have an away game as they head to Littleboro­ugh, while sixth placed CHURCH take on Rochdale at Redbrook.

Elsewhere, Ramsbottom will try to keep up their great run of form when they make the trip to Turf Moor to face Burnley this weekend.

It will be a difficult match for Ramsbottom, as Burnley are in eighth place having won nine of their 15 matches so far this season. Ramsbottom have looked superb during the campaign though, and sit in second place after 13 wins from their 15 matches.

Rawtenstal­l are also at home as they go up against Nelson at the Worswick Memorial Ground.

Rawtenstal­l are 20th in the division after managing three wins out of their 15 games.
