Close friends become rivals for 90 minutes, as Watson's current team take on pal Rob Smith's Telford in a National League North clash.

Watson is now in charge of Stalybridge Celtic, who welcome the Bucks to Bower Fold on Saturday with the visitors at the foot of the table.

Telford went down from the National League Premier after they sacked him in December 2014 and are now battling against a 'double dip' relegation.

His replacement, Steve Kittrick, was axed to make way for Smith's second spell in charge last August and he's already got one over on his pal this season.

Watson's first return to the New Bucks Head saw Stalybridge lose 2-0 to Telford, less than two months after Smith came from Hednesford Town.
