FC Halifax Town face a home game against Alfreton Town on Saturday and defender Marc Roberts insists it is a must win game.

“Three points are a must for us after losing the last two games,” he said.

“But I think previous results go out of the window though, we beat these opponents at home comfortably last time.

“We know we are at home and we are a better side at home, but you can’t take them too lightly or switch off because they will do to us what Welling have just done. “

The Shaymen’s Matt Pearson saw red for an alleged stamp on fellow England C colleague Harry Beautyman in the 2-1 defeat at Welling United last Saturday and the midfielder will miss the next three games.

Halifax’s away game with Dartford FC in the Vanarama Conference Premier has been rearranged for Tuesday, January 13 (7.45).

The game was originally due to be played on December 6, but has been moved due to Dartford’s continued involvement in the FA Cup.

Huddersfield Amateur are preparing for a big West Yorkshire League clash with Farsley Celtic Juniors at Bradford College on Saturday.

The Elland-based side suffered a first defeat of the Premier Division campaign when they went down 3-0 to Leeds Medics & Dentists at Old Earth.

Amateur still lead the table, but only by a point from Farsley, whose match was postponed.

Ealandians are fourth, three points behind Amateur but with two games in hand, after a 3-1 home win over Trinity & All Saints COB.

They are at home to Wigton Moor on Saturday.

Huddersfield Amateur Reserves, second in Division II, are through to the quarter-finals of the league’s Hancock Cup.

They will play Farsley’s second string at Old Earth after a 6-3 win at Old Collegians Reserves.
