Magpies looking to end a tough season on a high as they prepare to host Curzon Ashton
Chorley boss Andy Preece has urged his players to finish a difficult season strongly.
The Magpies sit in 15th spot in the National League North table – nine points clear of the drop zone with three games of their season left.
A number of teams sit between Preece’s men and the relegation places – one of which is this weekend’s visitors to Victory Park, Curzon Ashton.
Five points behind the Magpies, The Nash are just one place above the drop zone – four points clear of Hereford in 21st spot and 22nd placed Alfreton Town.
However, The Bulls have two games in hand on the vast majority of teams directly above them, including Curzon and Chorley, while Town have one extra game left to play.
The likelihood is that Chorley – who defeated leaders AFC Fylde on Good Friday before losing at Marine on bank holiday Monday – have already done enough to ensure their status in the division.
However, Preece will certainly be keen to avoid any nervous glances at other results by beating Curzon this weekend.
Interestingly, Chorley’s final two games of the season are against teams currently directly below them in the table. They travel to 17th placed King’s Lynn Town on Saturday week followed by a home game against Worksop Town, in 16th, on the final day of the campaign.
"There’s still a lot to play for,” Preece told Chorley FC TV. “Individually for the players and collectively as a team.
"We wanted to finish the season unbeaten especially after the Fylde performance and that will be the goal now.
"We are back at home. Hopefully we will be rejuvenated and we can put a performance on for the fans.”
