Spennymoor caretaker manager Jason Ainsley reckons today's FA Trophy tie at North Ferriby is Moors' biggest game of the season so far.

Ainsley, who has been in charge of the team since Peter Quigley was sacked a fortnight ago, knows that victory today on Humberside will boost everybody's spirits.

"The lads have been fantastic with me and that's made me more determined than ever to get a good result today," he said.

"The lads know what's expected, because we can all get a big lift today. The result will be much more important than the performance."

Defender Chris Lynch is suspended, while defender Paul Robertson is injured.

Bishop Auckland head to Worcestershire to play Stourport Swifts, and could recall Steve Hutt to the side.

Manager Tony Lee said: "We've had them watched and they're a big side with a couple of tall strikers, while they play on a small pitch, so we are expecting a difficult game."

Whitby are hoping that fatigue doesn't get the better of their players when they take on Blyth at the Turnbull Ground.

Whitby didn't arrive home until 7am on Wednesday morning from their trip to Plymouth.

Striker Jamie Burt has been linked to Plymouth and Carlisle this week, but manager Harry Dunn has denied that the former Newcastle player will soon be leaving the Turnbull Ground.
