Witton look to return to action for the first time in more than a week, when they welcome Morpeth Town in a re arranged Northern Premier League Premier Division fixture on Tuesday night.
The weekend saw a very disrupted programme in which only three games were played in the top division, a situation that didn’t really have any bearing on Witton’s position.
Witton go into the game looking to complete the league double over the Highwaymen following a 2-1 victory in the reverse fixture at Craik Park earlier in the season, courtesy of a brace from leading goalscorer Callum Saunders but another tough encounter faces them in this game.
Morpeth enjoyed an excellent run in the Buildbase FA Challenge Trophy where they carried the flag for the Northern Premier League and acquitted themselves well against York City, before bowing out to a last minute goal after leading 2-1 late in the game.
They’ll certainly take confidence from that experience as the season continues towards its conclusion and aim to finish as high up the table as they can.
A big week lies ahead for Witton with away trips to relegation rivals Grantham Town and Nantwich Town respectively but, the minds need to be concentrated on Morpeth Town first and then look further ahead.
Each game is huge in Witton’s position and they will be looking to haul themselves to safety in the weeks to come but it needs to to start now.
Kick off at the U Lock It Stadium is 7.45pm.
