"It wasn't what I dreamt of the night before,” said Willock. “Overall there were just too many mistakes in the game .

"Whitby are in good form. They have had a decent season, reached the first round of the FA Cup and it's always a tough place to go.”Other fixtures: Clitheroe v Vauxhall Motors, Barnoldswick Town v Burscough, Charnock Richard v Pilkington, Skelmersdale United v Longridge Town, FC Isle of Man v Kendal Town, Garstang v Holker Old Boys, Euxton Villa v Runcorn Town.
