LEIGH have the most difficult of tasks at Kettering on Saturday if they are to stop the rot of 10 games since a league win.

RMI travel to promotion-chasing Kettering, who although crashed out ot Cambridge in the FA Trophy last weekend, are a major force in the Blue Square North, lying in fourth spot and with three games in hand on new leaders Hyde United.

Bottom club Leigh suffered a 4-1 defeat to them earlier in the season, and although manager Steve Bleasdale has brought in some new faces, improved performances have not yet led to winning ways.

They went out of the Trophy with a 3-1 home defeat to Workington Reds, a side they face twice over the Christmas period, and Bleasdale is hoping the return of some of his cup-tied stars will make the difference.
