Witton face a tough test on Saturday afternoon when they travel to Widnes in a Northern Premier League West Division fixture.
Under the guidance of former Runcorn Linnets & City of Liverpool boss Michael Ellison, Widnes have propelled themselves into the top ten in the table.
Last season the club were in danger of being relegated but managed to avoid the inter-step play offs that were in place at the time.
They are currently enjoying an excellent run being unbeaten in their last four games with three wins and a draw, the last game a creditable point against play off hopefuls Stalybridge Celtic.
The goals of James Steele who has netted thirteen goals so far has played a major role in their improvement in form.
Witton go into the game currently in fourth but a defeat would see their opponents climb above them in the table.
The two league meetings last season saw the results shared with Widnes prevailing at the U Lock It Stadium and Witton took the points from a victory at the DCBL Stadium, courtesy of goals from Cameron Fogerty, a Joe Duckworth penalty and Jamie Reed.
Former Albion striker Will Jones was on the scoresheet for Widnes that day.
Witton are in excellent form going into the game, a run that has seen them lose only once in their last eight games, the only blemish a narrow one-goal defeat at Nantwich Town.
Some huge games are ahead for Jon Macken’s team in the next few weeks but they can only focus on the game in front of them but, a result will have to be earned.
Kick off at the DCBL Stadium is 3pm.
