FOOTBALL: FC United hope it will be third time lucky when they travel to Whitby Town on Saturday.

The fourth-bottom Rebels’ last two games have been victims of the weather but they will be keen for the rain to stay away as they look to climb the table.

Saturday’s home UniBond Premier League clash with Kendal Town was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch —as had their Challenge Cup encounter against the same side in midweek.

That first round tie will now take place at Kendal on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, FC coach Karl Lenaghan has left the club to become assistant manager at rivals Ossett Town.
