Words Alex Birch | Pictures VariousENDING our February road trip with a short hop over the Pennines to face relegation-threatened Farsley Celtic.While the Magpies were battling for a point at Brackley last weekend, the Celts were securing a last eight spot in the FA Trophy before extending their unbeaten run with an impressive 2-1 win at Scarborough Athletic on Tuesday evening.
A testing place to visit, especially with Farsley riding high on the back of their FA Trophy exploits. However, our away record has been excellent over the last couple of months and we want that to continue as we reach the business end of the season – Andy PreeceOur Opponents
