Hill eyeing more of the same from Daisy
Daisy Hill travel over to West Yorkshire tomorrow to take on Route One Rovers in the second of their warm-up games building up to the start of the league season on July 26.
The sides have faced one another in the North West Counties League in the past two season, but with Rovers having moved their home ground to the Myra Shay Ground in Bradford over the summer, they will now compete in the Northern Counties East League in the coming season.

Daisy got off to a winning start in their opening pre-season game, winning 2-1 at Prestwich Heys on Tuesday night, and manager Lee Hill is expecting another close-fought encounter.
'Route One are a team at our level in the non-league pyramid and they are a good side,' said Hill.
'They are energetic and fit and it's a chance for us to show we can match that, and a game we'll look forward to.
'It's going to be a different type of game than we had on Tuesday, and it's good to get those types of games in.
'But although we know the opposition we will take the same approach as we did on Tuesday and apply those same principles.
'We got off to a good start on Tuesday, and now on Saturday it's all about building on that.'
Kick off at the Myra Shay Ground is 3pm.
