Following their blank weekend due to the weather, Witton will look to get their chase for a Play off spot back on track on Thursday night when they travel to fellow play off challengers Farsley Celtic. The Yorkshire club have continued their impressive form in recent weeks and have opened up a decent gap on Witton but it is still within the capabilities of Albion to reduce it and give themselves a chance. Is it a must win game for Witton?, difficult to say at this stage but defeat would make things that much harder. Witton have proved already this season that they can compete against the top teams in the league so they won't be fazed by the challenge which faces them and will be looking to continue their good form on the road. Farsley always prove difficult opponents and this game will be no different. It could be a very interesting evening and there is still the return fixture to come. Kick off at Throstle Nest is 7.45pm.
