Gresley Rovers could be shorn of eight players as they relive one of their great moments against Mersysiders Knowsley United at the Moat Ground tomorrow (3pm).

The sides fought out a titanic FA Vase fifth round tie at Knowsley in Gresley’s march to Wembley last season, the Moatmen emerging 5-4 victors after extra time.

Holidays take five players – Richard Denby, Kieron Smith, Paul Acklam, Scott Elliott and Ryan Venning – out of action.

Striker Brian Beresford is also out with an ankle injury and Neil Lovell is doubtful with a pulled muscle.

Manager Frank Northwood said: “We had a fantastic game with Knowsley last season. Their manager said he felt we were the best non-league side they had met and I would say they were the best side we met in the competition – and that includes Guiseley.”
