GRAHAM HOWARTH is not getting too carried away by Padiham's success as he knows his side could hit a rough patch any day.

So far it has been an amazing start to the NWCL Division Two campaign with eight wins and one draw for the side from nine league games.

Castleton, who the Storks beat on the opening day of the season, visit the Arbories tomorrow.

"We are expecting a tough game because we are now the league leaders and the only unbeaten side in the division so everyone will want to beat us.

"Even Manchester United and Arsenal go through a blip at some stage and we know one will come. It is how we react to it is what counts.

"We will have an off day but we have done really well so far."
