PICKERING Town play their first home game of the season tonight when they entertain Glasshoughton Welfare in the Northern Counties East League Premier Division (7.30pm).

Manager Jimmy Reid will be hoping to make it a hat-trick of wins following the Pikes' 5-1 FA Cup triumph over Shotton Comrades at the weekend and a 1-0 win at Glasshoughton a week earlier.

However, match winner at Glasshoughton Adam Wash is a doubt tonight after picking up an ankle injury against Shotton.

Former York City favourite Andy McMillan is named in the Pikes squad.

Pickering, from: Mitchell, McMillan, Sturdy, Thornton, Chapman, Reid, MacAuley, Farthing, Connor, Chapman, Zoll, Wilson, Dale, Dickinson, Wilgrass, Wash.

UniBond League first division outfit Harrogate Town are also in action tonight (7.45pm) when they entertain West Auckland Town at Wetherby Road in an FA Cup preliminary round replay. The two sides drew 2-2 in Saturday's first encounter.
