Port FC and Port United will be in action tomorrow night after failing to take points from matches on the weekend.
FC went down at the hands of Tuncurry Forster Tigers at South Street. The Port team threatened constantly, especially in the second half, but couldn't find the onion bag.
Tuncurry won 1-0.
The best chances of the match for FC fell to Sam Langley, whose shot clattered into the crossbar, and Dylan Baker, who fired over from close range.
Nick Brown forced a good save from the Tigers keeper with a nice volley from inside the box.
FC will face Camden Haven Redbacks under lights at Vince Inmon Fields tomorrow night.
The men in blue will miss Jordan Morris for the match. He's suspended after picking up two yellow cards in the loss to Tigers on Saturday. Ben Foulis has hamstring trouble and Baker a knee complaint.
FC keeper Terrance Stafford knows his team needs points, but doesn't expect it to be easy against Redbacks.
"Going down there is always tough," he said.
"They're always a vocal crowd, and they have good support for their home team."
United shared the points last weekend in a draw with Kempsey Saints.
Chris Walsh's men will take on the Tigers at Dixie Park tomorrow night. He was going to use last night's training session to assess injuries picked up on the weekend.
Walsh expected a couple of key reserve graders in Tony Raymond and Damien Cross to be out.
Both have hamstring complaints.
Walsh was also unsure of his players' work commitments.
"I'm waiting for the end of training to work that out," he said yesterday.
"We could have a couple of players out."
