IT has not been the best of weeks for Chorley with two successive defeats, while tomorrow they face a test from the league leaders.

Yet manager Steve Waywell is hoping that the prospect of squaring up against Colwyn Bay, the form team of the season, will perhaps shake his side into producing an upturn in results.

“It can work in two ways – we can either show them too much respect, which I hope we don’t, or it will galvanise the players into producing good form,” said Waywell.

Chorley lost at Prescot last Saturday and then surrendered their home record with a 4-0 defeat to Skelmersdale.
