Steve Jones of Nantwich Town

Nantwich Town face a crunch game away at relegation rivals Belper Town.

Defeat for the Dabbers, who sit just two points above second from bottom Belper, could see them slip into the bottom places if other results go against them.

Danny Johnson hopes to have ex Crewe Alex winger Steve Jones (pictured) available as he returned from injury in their recent FA Trophy game.

Belper were promoted via the play offs from the First Division South last season, beating Derbyshire rivals Mickleover Sport 1-0 in the final.

This season they have found it hard to adjust to life in the Premier Division, and 23rd in the league on 15 points.

But Nantwich Town only have 17 points from 19 matches, and have the third worst goal difference in the league.

In their last league outing, Belper were 1-0 winners away at Stamford with Ashley Burbeary netting for the Nailers after just 18 minutes to give them their third win of the season and their first on the road.

Nantwich have had the week off as Tuesday’s night game against Halesowen was called off because The Yeltz were FA Trophy action.

But in the Dabbers last fixture they were beaten 3-1 at Ramsbottom United in the Trophy.

Kick off at Christchurch Meadow tomorrow (November 22) is 3pm with admission prices to the game adults £9, concessions £5, children under 14 free (with paying adult).

Meanwhile, Nantwich Town’s Youth Team played a Manchester United Foundation Team on Tuesday (November 18) and won 5-2.

Goals from Elliot Booth (2) Tom Taylor and George Hopkins ( 2 ) secured victory for the youngsters.

Assistant Manager Mark Minshull said: “It was tough game against a very quick and skilful Manchester United team. Both sets of players acquitted themselves very well.”
