Lower Breck missed a chance to go two points clear at the top of the North when they drew 1-1 away at Steeton, and this week welcome Andy Harrison's Nelson who have one win so far this season.

AFC Darwen aren't in action until Tuesday, so a win for Ashton Town could see them leapfrog Luke Evans' team if they beat Bacup Borough who are without a point so far.

St Helens Town are the other side without a point in the division and they host Cleator Moor Celtic who've won, drew and lost in their first three games.

Fresh off winning the Grounds Team of the Year award, and winning their opening two games, Shelley welcome Prestwich Heys to The Stafflex Arena who have won only one of their games so far.

Atherton LR are without a win so far and look for their first when they face Steeton who have four points so far this term.

Holker Old Boys, who've won one of their opening two games, face a trip to a Chadderton team just outside the top four with two wins.

Daisy Hill are behind Chadderton on goal difference and they welcome Emley AFC who've won one of their opening two games so far.

12th placed Garstang host 13th placed Golcar United on Saturday with both teams accruing three points so far.
