DERBY DAY FOR GERS AND VILLAGE

The two teams will meet at Havelock Park (6.30pm kick-off) keen to secure their first wins of the season.

Rangers are the division’s newcomers and secured a point against Crewe United in a 1-1 draw on Friday night.

But for Seapatrick it was a different tale as championship hopefuls Tandragee Rovers turned them over in a 2-0 win.

The Cheney Park side will be hoping that ace marksman Colin Cousins can shake off a knock picked up during the draw with Crewe in order to be fit for tonight’s game.
