ATHERTON Colls could welcome back four players for the tough trip to Knowsley Road.

Paul Masher, Rob Jackson, Neil Davies and Anthony Pilkington may all figure against the First Division fourth-placed side, who share a ground with the town's more illustrious rugby club.

Colls are nearing the end of a spell of fixtures against the top sides, and will be without the suspended Andy Walker for Saturday's game (kick-off 3pm).
