CLITHEROE face the testing trip to the North East to face league leaders and title favourites Durham City.

That is a huge game for Peter Smith’s men - but they go in full of confidence after their impressive win over Garforth Town in midweek.

It is Clitheroe’s second trip North in a week after their excellent draw at Newcastle Blue Star last weekend and Smith may resist the temptation to make any changes to his side which means new striker Michael Morrison, signed from Runcorn Linnets, may have to start from the bench again.
