Mickleover Sports are in need of as much local support as possible this coming weekend as they take on the league leaders South Shields. The Mariners from the North East are cruising at the moment having won their last six league games and are expected to bring a few hundred traveling supporters with them. After last weekends washouts at Workington and results going against them Sports find themselves third bottom inside the relegation zone, and will be desperate to climb out as quickly as possible.
