Match Pointers
WITTON have an early opportunity to bounce back from Saturday’s FA Cup Preliminary Round exit when they return to league action against neighbours Warrington Town.
Paul Ogden’s men were winners against Garforth Town at Wincham Park on the season’s opening day, and they will wish for a repeat this afternoon.
The Albion boss will check on the fitness of midfield anchor Phil Parkinson after he limped out of the 2-0 defeat at Mossley, but Ben Harrison and Carl Frost are fit again and pushing for a start.
Chris Smith could support Andy Kinsey in attack after the ex-Nantwich Town man started the past two games as a lone raider.
Visitors Warrington beat Bootle to progress in the cup on Saturday and are unbeaten in their three matches so far this term.
Ex-Woodley Sports front man Gavin Salmon, partnered by former Witton squad man Tony Evans in attack, has scored four of their seven goals.
The Wire hope to call on another familiar face to Albion followers, Chris Gahgan, who has yet to make an appearance this term.
Skipper Mike Tomlinson sat out the last match too.
