ATHERTON Collieries take on Charnock Richard tonight with a place at the Reebok Stadium up for grabs.

The NWCL Division One club take on the Chorley club in the semi-final of the Goldline Trophy at Radcliffe Borough's Stainton Park, kick-off 7.45pm.

Colls, whose game with Nantwich Town was one of the many to be postponed because of a frozen pitch at the weekend, have a full strength squad to chose from for the clash with the West Lancashire League outfit.

If Phil Brown's side can overcome Charnock Richard, they will face Prestwich Heys in the final to be played at Bolton Wanderers' home ground.

Like Colls, FC United's home game with Atherton LR was a victim of the weather.

The breakaway club have yet to play at Gigg Lane this year and their hopes of closing the gap on leaders Salford City, who defeated Nelson 5-2 to go four points clear with seven games in hand, were frustrated.

Daisy Hill's bottom-of-the-table clash with basement club Norton United in Division Two was also postponed.
