Leaders eye lift

Nov 22 2008 by David Bassett, Liverpool Daily Post

AFC LIVERPOOL have the chance to halt their mini-slump when they take on Padiham at Prescot Cables today.

Derek Goulding’s Vodkat First Division table-toppers have lost their last three games, but are still three points ahead of Wigan Robin Park with two games in hand. And victory over Padiham will give the Reds a major lift in the title race.

In the Premier Division, St Helens Town face Alsager Town at Knowsley Road.

Formby visit leaders AFC Fylde,, while Ashton visit Ramsbottom and Runcorn Linnets entertain Glossop.

Bootle look to maintain their First Division promotion push at Cheadle Town, where the kick-off is 2pm, while bottom club Ashton Town, without a win in 11 games, are at home to Holker Old Boys.
