PADIHAM will be hoping to pull away from the relegation zone in the Evo-Stik League Premier Division when they host Northwich on Saturday afternoon.
The Storks are currently 19th and four points clear of the bottom two after a poor run of November form which saw them lose all five matches.
But the calendar has now flicked into December and boss Steve Wilkes will be targeting a first victory since October 26 when mid-table Northwich come to town.
Padiham were beaten 2-0 by Northwich on the opening day of the season and a win could lift Wilkes' side as high as 16th
