BACUP Borough manager Brent Peters is set to keep faith with the players who reached the North West Counties League Challenge Cup final, writes SUZANNE GELDARD.

And he admitted he would be giving the starting 11 plenty of notice so they could be mentally focused for tomorrow's showdown at Southport's Haig Avenue.

"This is a massive game for us. It's our season," he said.

"To beat Clitheroe away earlier in the competition was a feat in itself.

"Then to beat Warrington, who are pushing for a place in the UniBond League, over two games was excellent.

"The lads have been tremendous. That's something that will go in their favour when it comes to picking the team.

"And the players who are starting will be told, individually, well in advance of the game - not before kick-off like I would normally do."

Tomorrow's final will be the second in three years that the West View outfit have been involved in.

Last time they took on Squires Gate in the Second Division Trophy, losing 1-0.
