DARWEN will try to kick-start their season with a league and cup double header at Birch Hall this weekend.

Chris Bolton takes the wicketkeeping gloves as Graham Parkinson is on holiday for the Northern League home game with Blackpool tomorrow.

On Sunday, they host Prestwich in the National Knockout Cup, when Chris Chatterton will replace Jeff Hacking.

Chorley don't have a league game, and have a bye in the Knockout Cup.
