FA Cup Preliminary Round replays begin are set for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday this week as NWCFL clubs look to progress in the competition.

After a thrilling 3-3 draw, Winsford United will lock horns with Ramsbottom United once again on Monday.

United have lost both of their games since the first meeting, include defeat to Gresley in the FA Vase.

Padiham forced a replay when Jay Hill's 80th-minute goal cancelled out Craig Lindfield's opener for Marine.

They meet again on Tuesday evening, with Padiham securing their advancement in the FA Vase with a 5-0 win.

With both teams unable to break the deadlock in the first clash, Brad Cooke's West Didsbury & Chorlton host Stalybridge Celtic on Tuesday night.

West Dids have won five of their last six, with the draw in this FA Cup clash the only game they didn't claim victory.

When Runcorn Town travelled to Radcliffe over a week ago they also finished goalless.

1874 Northwich beat Town 3-2 on the Easter Monday after the FA Cup game, and Runcorn haven't played since.

An FA Vase replay will also be contested on Wednesday after Burscough's 90th-minute equaliser meant the game ended 1-1.

Burscough haven't won since 10th August when they beat AFC Liverpool 3-2, while Emley have only lost one of their last six.

First Division North action will take place on Thursday night when St Helens Town welcome Holker Old Boys.

This is a rearranged fixture after the original date was postponed due to traffic problems.

Lee Jenkinson's St Helens have been involved in high-scoring games recently, scoring 15 and conceding 17 in their last six, winning two of them.

Meanwhile, Holker are without a win in four, with two draws and two defeats in that time.
