Five cup finals stand between Witton and their quest for the end of season play offs, starting with the visit of Skelmersdale United on Saturday afternoon in a Northern Premier League West Division fixture.
Three home games and two away to complete the regular season and all are big games at this stage.
A tremendous result at Leek Town last weekend has kept Witton in the mix and they now need to build on that.
Skelmersdale United arrive at the U Lock It Stadium with a unique record of being the only team across all four Northern Premier League Divisions yet to draw a league game.
Sixteen games on the road have seen the Blues collect ten wins and six defeats and they will be looking to continue that record.
Witton look to complete the double over the Lancashire club following a 1-0 success at Burscough Community Ground earlier in the season, courtesy of Cameron Fogerty’s first half goal.
Albion could have made the result more comfortable in the last few minutes but Elliot Rokka’s spot kick was saved and the three points were secured.
Games against Skelmersdale are always tough encounters and this one could prove to be no different.
Kick off at the U Lock It Stadium is 3pm.

Big games keep coming after last week’s big win.
We need all 3 points again, team-wise assume Rokka is fit this week and McGee back from suspension but it’s hard to change the start 11 from last week!
I think Haywood is not suspended till Monday but it’s nice to have a strong squad to pick from.
I would probably add Rokka to the start 11 just to add a better goal threat from the front 3.
Good luck lads. UTA
