Sat 28 March 26 : Prescot Cables v Ilkeston Town : Ko 3pm

Prescot Cables are in real danger of relegation. They are one of 3 teams on 36 points and are avoiding a relegation position on goal difference.  Ilkeston are 5 points above the relegation places. Both teams need to win.

Cables are winless in their last nine matches but they have shown improved form recently, drawing their last four games against, Hyde, Rushall, Cleethorpes and Hebburn last Saturday.
26 of their 36 points have come from home matches
Their home record is :   P18.  W6.  D8.  L4.  F23.  A20.  Pts26

Ilkeston need a win to stop their winless away run going into double figures.

I will miss this match so no match day updates unless some one else provides them.

We have to get something out of this match. A loss would be bad for us but not end of the world. A draw would be ok but 3 points would see us 2 points of our safely mark of 46 points.

I agree we need more points because all of the teams below us are now regularly picking up points in a bid to survive. We need at least a draw at Prescot to stop them moving to just 2 points behind us. If we were to win at Prescot they will be in danger of being overtaken by the teams below them on goal difference.  Cables are one of three teams on 36 points but they have played a game more than Workington and Morpeth. Morpeth have a great chance to pull away being at home to Leek, but Workington have a much tougher match at home to title chasing Hednesford.  There are nine teams in the relegation mix and three will go down.

All being well I will attempt to provide some updates on Saturday by trawling X, FootballWebPages and The Northern Premier League Website. Alnwick Town are away at  Seaham Red Star which i believe is just south of Sunderland.

Incredible that Hyde have only won 1 of their last 20 league games.
