Action from Hoppers' last home game, a defeat by Otley

(Mike Craig)

The clubs have met only four times in league action and Hoppers have won them all. So that should be a much-needed incentive to end their three-match losing streak and put some daylight between themselves and the bottom three in National Two North.

After an encouraging start to life at this level, Rossendale have lost their last seven games to be 12th, one place and six points behind Hoppers, who have won four out of 11, compared to the visitors' two victories, one draw and eight defeats.
