Match Pointers
NORTHWICH target a fourth victory against higher-ranked opponents in this season’s competition when Blue Square Bet Premier Newport visit tomorrow, Saturday.

It also marks Paul Simpson’s last match as manager before he starts a new job in Portugal next week.

He was absent for Tuesday’s crazy Doodson Sport Cup quarter finals defeat against Evo-Stik NPL Premier Division foes Rushall Olympic, which they lost 5-4.

John Disney (ankle) and Lewis Short (shin) both suffered knocks but hope to be ready to play, although Jordan Johnson (groin) is ruled out until next week.

Ryan Wade stands by.

Vics have lost only one of their past 10 FA Trophy ties and their current wins sequence – six – marks their best ever run in the competition.

Visitors Newport hope to welcome back skipper Gary Warren (hamstring) after a spell on the sidelines, while Ismael Yakubu returned for Tuesday’s 2-1 defeat at Tamworth.

Andy Sandell is banned, while attacking pair Ryan Charles and Jake Reid are cup tied after playing for other clubs in an earlier round.

That midweek defeat ended a seven-matches unbeaten run for Justin Edinburgh’s men, who have won two of their three matches to date in this season’s edition on the road.
