WARRINGTON Rylands travel to Lincolnshire on Saturday to play Gainsborough Trinity in a NPL Premier Division game, kick off 3pm.
Having beaten Workington 1-0 at home on Tuesday, Rylands will be looking to extend their run of consecutive league wins to five games and their unbeaten run to ten games, not having lost since the openeing day of the season they currently top the Division’s form table and stand 2nd in the league table.
Thier opponents on Saturday have not enjoyed as good a start to the season, currently in 17th place Gainsborough Trinity, who last season made the play offs, in their last league game beat Matlock Town 5-3 at home to record their 3rd win of the season.
Like Rylands, Trinity – who recently changed their manager, were knocked out of the FA Trophy last weekend losing 3-1 at home to Guiseley.
Rylands will be without their captain James Neild for Saturday’s trip following his red card at Avro last weekend, while forward Edy Maieco left the club this week.
A new face in the Warrington Rylands squad is right sided defender Chiekh Thiam, the 21 year old Italian former Fleetwood Town player has signed from FC United of Manchester for whom he played against Rylands in the FA cup last month.
