Stockton Town begin the Easter Weekend with a big home game against Carlton Town.
The Anchors were held to a goalless draw to Cleethorpes Town last time out on a windswept day in Lincolnshire.
The best chance of the game came for Kev Hayes in the second half when he forced the best out of goalkeeper Heath Richardson with an acrobatic effort.
Shane Henry could return to the squad tomorrow.
