AFTER a long trip on the road to King's Lynn Town last weekend, Chorley are back on home soil.
The Magpies host Marine AFC, who have had a strong second-half of the season.
The Opponents
Since Chorley last faced Marine, they sat in 23rd but have since climbed the table to an impressive 17th in the Vanarama National League North.
The club's top goalscorer is Finlay Sinclair-Smith, who has seven goals so far this season.
On the creative front, the tricky forward is also leading the way on four. The 24-year-old is having a fine season and will be one to watch.
Marine have a familiar face within their ranks, Jack Hazlehurst, who is on loan there from EFL side Burton Albion.

He joined Cammell Laird as Joint Manager in 2007, and the team was promoted to the Northern Premier League Premier Division as runners-up.
Having been appointed as the new manager of the reformed Chester in 2010. Young recorded an unprecedented triple promotion, winning the NPL North, NPL Premier and Conference North in consecutive seasons, breaking various records on the way. Young was also given the Conference North Manager of the Year in 2013.
The 49-year-old coach joined Marine in September 2018, leading the club to the FA Cup 3rd Round in 2022. While also recently earning promotion to the National League North.
