with Ribblesdale Wanderers at Church Meadow, O’Connorsaid: “We need to push hard in these remaining eight games and com pete for theLancashire Cup spot that we want. . “If we can pick up six wins
then we should be there.” O’Connor, whose side hasn’t
finished outside the top four since 2007, added: “The league
