Radcliffe Borough vs. Leigh Genesis preview

Leigh Genesis look to bounce back from their midweek defeat at rivals Prescot Cables when they make the short trip to Radcliffe Borough on Saturday afternoon for another vital Evo-Stik League First Division North encounter.

Genesis boss Alan Kershaw welcomes Nathan McDonald back to the side after he served a one match ban for his sending off in the 3-2 win over Trafford last month as his side look to return to the form that saw them go three games unbeaten prior to Tuesday's 4-0 loss at Prescot.

Hosts Radcliffe find themselves fourth bottom in the league after suffering a 5-2 thumping at home to Garforth Town in recent weeks, though that was preceeded by an impressive 1-0 away to Lancaster City in Benny Phillips' first game in charge as caretaker manager following the departure of previous boss Gerry Luczka.

With ex-Leigh players Reece Kelly and Owen Roberts on the sideline through injury, Radcliffe's ex-Genesis contingent will consist of left back Kris King and striker Richard Chetcuti, with King ironically the Leigh goalscorer when they suffered a shock 2-1 defeat on their last visit to Stainton Park in December 2009.

Kick off at Stainton Park on Saturday is at 3pm, with admission costs £7 for adults, £5 for concessions and £2 for under 16's, with children admitted free of charge if accompanied by an adult. Live updates will be available at twitter.com/leighgenesisfc
