Win-happy Selby Town will be looking for their sixth successive victory when the undefeated Robins embark on another silverware trail tomorrow.

Selby, who currently top the Northern Counties East League premier division after four straight wins, have home advantage for their FA Vase first round qualifying tie with Easington Colliery.

The Robins have certainly enjoyed a dream start to the season enjoying a 1-0 League win over Brodsworth in midweek.

Adding extra-sheen to Selby's fantastic start was last Saturday's 3-2 win over plucky South Shields in the FA Cup preliminary round.

Manager Jimmy Reid, after seeing Pickering Town take maximum points from their first two games back in the NECL premier division, will be looking to make it four successive victories when they kick-start their FA Vase campaign.

The free-scoring Pikes, who beat Glasshoughton Welfare 5-1 in midweek to add to the five goals they put past Shotton Comrades in the FA Cup preliminary round last Saturday, are this week in FA Vase action away at Pointon Victoria, from Wallasey.

Pikes boss Jimmy Reid, who has doubts over the fitness of Phil O'Reilly, Alex Willgrass and Adam Wash, admitted he knew little about tomorrow's opponents.

"They've scored 12 goals in their league and conceded ten which tends to suggest they are an attacking team and will suit us," said Reid.

"It promises to be a big week for us. We play Sheffield on Tuesday in the League and Crook Town in the FA Cup next Saturday.

"If we lose two of our next three games half your season has gone. I will be disappointed if we don't get at least a draw on Saturday."

Harrogate Railway Athletic, who enjoyed a comfortable ride to the next round of the FA Cup by beating Bridlington 2-0, are away at Brigg Town still searching for their first League win of the season after drawing three of their opening four games.

Railway will have every incentive for breaking that duck knowing that, despite currently lying in 16th place, they can move level with fifth-placed Brigg if they can take all three points tomorrow.

Goole are level on points with Pickering but have played three games more than Reid's Pikes.

Having crashed out of the FA Cup 1-0 last weekend at the hands of Thackley, Goole will be looking to bounce back at Glapwell where they can also collect their first away points of the campaign.

In the NCEL division one, Tadcaster Albion, who made an early exit from this season's FA Cup going down 5-1 against Ossett Town, are on their travels to take on Yorkshire Amateurs.

Having won one and lost one of their first two fixtures, Albion will be wanting three points to keep tabs on early pacesetters Lincoln Moorlands, who have scored 14 goals from four straight wins.

Harrogate Town boss John Reed is looking for his side to maintain the form that saw them overcome West Auckland in Tuesday night's FA Cup preliminary round replay 4-1 and begin a concerted climb up the table.

Three points over Trafford on Saturday would see Town climb into the top half and above the visitors to Wetherby Road in the UniBond League first division table.

"It was a very polished performance with some great goals," said Reed of his side's FA Cup win.

"Hopefully we can use it as a springboard to get up the League now and in amongst the big hitters."

The only doubt for Reed and Harrogate is former York City striker Ian Blackstone, who was on the bench in midweek as he continues on the comeback trail from injury.
