Dale will meet a new match official on Tuesday night when only their second-ever visit to Tamworth is refereed by NIALL SMITH.

The Staffordshire official received a mid-season promotion to the National List and Tuesday will be his debut game at this level.

Niall has spent the majority of the campaign refereeing in National League North, although he has also officiated in Premier League 2 and acted as fourth official in League One since his promotion.
