Newbold travel to Midlands 1 East strugglers Matlock tomorrow (Saturday) in a game previously postponed because of the Derbyshire weather.

Captain Danny Facer’s side are currently third in the table and will be looking for a bonus-point win to keep their chances of runners-up spot alive, before they host Derby on April 2 at Parkfield Road.
