Young’s Rosso have seen two incomings and two outgoings this week, with experienced goalkeeper Jonathan Hedges and Harry Mitchell arriving to bolster the squad. The pair will be aiming to make an immediate impact as the focus turns firmly to securing three points on Saturday.

The Pikes, who started the season strongly, currently sit mid-table, ten points adrift of the play-off places. Tony Hackworth’s side will be eager to reignite their push for the Northern Counties East League Premier play-offs as they look to begin 2026 on a positive note.

It’s ninth versus 19th this weekend, and despite the 10 places and 11 points separating the two sides, recent form suggests a closely contested encounter. Both teams have lost four of their last five games in all competitions, each managing just one win during that run.
