Emley look to continue their good run of form on Saturday when they play host to Atherton Laburnum Rovers at the Fantastic Media Welfare Ground, 3pm

Wednesday's 2-2 draw at Bacup saw the Pewits extend their unbeaten run to 8 games, although many will feel they were lucky to a get a point after a scrappy game over in Lancashire.

However, Emley, like most teams, won't care how the points came but will be happy to have them, however, Atherton will also be looking to earn maximum points and end a run of 7 defefats in all competitions and move up the table, they are currently 14th, Emley, sit nicely in 2nd place but still a long way to yet!

Rob Bordman will be looking to keep up his good goalscoring record of late, the striker has bagged a brace in each of his last 3 games, so will be keen to extend that record.

But as we know, anything is possible in this level of football, every team is capable of beating everyone else so Emley, again, will need to be on top form if they are to keep up their top 4 challenge.

WHEN? Saturday 2nd November, 3.00pm

WHERE? Fantastic Media Welfare Ground, off Upper Lane, Emley, Huddersfield, HD8 9RE.

WHO? Laburnum Rovers were founded as an under 14's team in 1956 and named after the playing fields on which they played, In the summer of 1980 the club joined the non-league pyramid when their application to join the Cheshire County League was successful. A stipulation of the League was that the towns name had to be in the clubs title, so links with the past were retained with the new name of Atherton Laburnum Rovers. The club were founder members of the NWCFL in 1982.
Their best spell of success came in the early-mid 1990's, twice NWCFL Champions in 92/93 and 93/94 and also FA Vase semi finalists in 1994.
