In Division Two Darwen welcome back skipper Jason Jones for the visit of bottom-of-the table Holker Old Boys.

Jones has missed the last three games through suspension and manager Wayne Watkins praised the young players who have filled in in his absence.

"Jason is our captain and a very influential player so you are always going to miss someone of his quality.

"But the lads who have come in have done a good job and we have picked up some good results while Jason has been out of the team."

Darwen have a near full strength squad to pick from with only John Stephenson missing through suspension.
