Witton make the trip to Merseyside on Thursday night when they take on Marine in a re arranged Evo-Stik Premier Division fixture. The original fixture fell victim to the weather around a fortnight ago. The Crosby-based club have shown a big improvement over recent weeks as they climb away from the lower reaches of the table., winning six of their last games and each of their last three away games. With teams beating each other in the last few weeks, Witton still look to reach the play offs but the prospect of achieving that is slimmer now than it was but still not impossible. Marine will provide Witton with a very tough examination as they did earlier in the season when the points were shared in a 1-1 draw. Whatever happens between now and the end of the season, Witton have given it a real go and no doubt will continue to do so as the campaign nears its conclusion. Kick off at The Marine Travel Arena is 7.45pm.
