3 more league points at stake as Emley play catch up.

Emley welcome Maltby Main to the Fantastic Media Welfare Ground on Saturday (3pm KO - gates open at 1pm) hoping to extend the unbeaten run to 15 games in all competitions and close the gap on Campion at the top of the NCEL Premier Division.

Emley's continuing progress in the cup competitions means they now have 4 games in hand on the leaders Campion and 2 games in hand on Albion Sports who are breathing down their necks.

On the back of progressing in the county senior and league cups this week, it's back to league action for the next 2 games for Emley, who had 2 different games, an 11-0 win over SJR Worksop in the county cup on Saturday was followed by a hard fought penalty shoot out win on Tuesday against a strong Garforth Town.

Saturday's visitors Maltby haven't had the best of times recently, currently second from bottom and in the run of 7 straight defeats, they will keen to improve their form and look to provide a stern test for the Pewits who have the best defensive record in the league with 10 clean sheets and only 9 goals conceded.

The last meeting was a 0-0 draw on the opening day of the season at the end of July and Maltby were, of course, Emley's opponents at Doncaster in last years county cup success.

Last time out:
Emley 2-2 Garforth (4-3pens) (Walker, Metcalfe) LC2, Att- 305
Maltby 1-4 Dronfield Town (OG) LC2, Att- 88.
