Even though the weather forecast suggests that there's more chance of TalkSPORT having two minutes of genuinely interesting football discussion on it than there is of any football taking place in Ossett this Saturday, should the MET Office turn out to be wrong Mossley will be heading to Dimple Wells for the second time this season, for our third and final league meeting with Albion.
I say Mossley when it should really be Ossett Albion Old Boys, such is the number of their ex-players currently within our ranks. James Riordan, David Boardman, Leon Henry, Martin Allison and Danny Toronczak all used to pull on the gold shirts and Gerry Quinn spent a few seasons in their home dugout.
At the present moment the aggregate score between the two sides is five apiece; Mossley having won the first encounter 3 - 1 back in September whilst Ossett triumphed 4 - 2 on their home soil last November. Since then both teams have had their ups and downs... Ossett the ups and Mossley the downs.
Well that was certainly the case upto this week. In their last game Albion fell to a surprise defeat at Clitheroe, a result which has put a small dent in their push for promotion (they currently lie fourth, the position Skem were in prior to our visit last week). Mossley on the other hand enter the fixture in a comparatively buoyant mood having won their point of 2008 last Tuesday
Prediction: I don't think I'm the only who believes that this is a fixture that Mossley will surprise a few people in. Whether narrowly, comfortable, deserved or fortunate - a win for the visitors.
