KARL ADDIS has promised that Rovers will be more expansive as they look to recreate their early-season form, starting tomorrow night at North.

In one of two midweek Priaulx League encounters, Rovers face a North side they have already beaten in both league clashes between the two this campaign, 4-2 and 3-2 respectively.

However, North gained revenge with their comprehensive Guernsey FA Cup victory 10 days ago and Rovers coach Addis is mindful of the threat from William Woodford's in-form side.

'North are a team I have lots of respect for because they go out there and play good football in the right manner,' he said.

'I saw them in their draw with Bels on Friday and thought they played extremely well, they are in really good form after a slow start and will be very tough.

'But the great thing from my point of view is that we are going into these games now confident of competing, which wasn't the case before this season.'

Before that is tonight's clash between Bels and Sylvans at the Track, with the reigning champions now without the services of Luke Winch for three months as he has gone to live in France.

MIDWEEK PRIAULX LEAGUE FIXTURES

Today: Bels v. Sylvans, Track, 7.30pm.

Tomorrow: North v. Rovers, Northfield, 7.30pm.
