Toolstation NCEL Premier Division

Pickering Town boss Paul Marshall and his side have yet to lose away from in the league

Title-chasers Bridlington Town with Pickering Town go head-to-head in an intriguing battle on Boxing Day.

Both sides need to win to keep up their bid to catch Cleethorpes Town, who face Barton Town Old Boys on the 27th.

Only a point separates third-place Pickering and fourth-placed Bridlington. Both have three games-in-hand on Cleethorpes.

Pickering do have a slight psychological edge as they won at Brid back in October in the FA Vase. The Pikes also have the distinction of having not lost away from home in the league yet.

In the other games, Handsworth Parramore host AFC Mansfield and Armthorpe Welfare visit Retford United for Mark Wilson’s first game in charge.
