THE importance of tonight's Unibond Division One clash at Trafford cannot be over stated for Radcliffe Boro.

Having occupied the second automatic promotion place behind champions Harrogate Town for the vast majority of the campaign, a late season dip in form has seen Boro now unsure of even finishing in the three play-off places for elevation to the Premier League.

Saturday's 2-1 home defeat by Spennymoor United leaves the Stainton Park outfit clinging on to the last play-off place by goal difference from Leek Town, who tonight travel to third-bottom Belper Town.

Not out of contention yet are Gretna, who travel to bottom club Ossett Albion.

In North West Counties League Division Two, Daisy Hill entertain an Ashton Town side containing eight former New Sirs aces.
