LEIGH RMI's hopes of relegation will be tested to the limit tonight when they take on second-placed Telford.

Only last month the Shropshire outfit proved too hot to handle for the Railwaymen when they inflicted a heavy 6-1 defeat on them.

But Steve Bleasdale's side need to earn at least a point to keep alive any hopes of avoiding the drop out of Blue Square North.

Leigh need to make up an eight-point deficit to haul themselves out of the bottom three and, with just one win in 18 games, they desperately need to pick up points.

The 3-1 pick-me-up victory over Vauxhall could not be sustauned at the weekend where they failed to find the back of the net in the 1-0 defeat to Solihull Moors, a win that effectively ended the Warwickshire side's relegation worries.

Radcliffe Borough, meanwhile, bid to progress to the semi-final of the Manchester Premier Cup and set up a bumper pay day against FC United.

They host North West Counties Division One basement club Abbey Hey at Stainton Park, kick off 7.45pm, with the Rebels already waiting in the last four of the competition.
