Danny Hall is expecting a different test against Altrincham in the Skrill North Promotion Final to the one Guiseley negotiated against North Ferriby United in the semi-final.

The Lions booked their place in the final at Moss Lane with a 3-0 aggregate victory, after Wayne Brooksby struck in the second half at Ferriby on Saturday.

The impressive winger’s goal may have grabbed the headlines for Mark Bower’s men but the partnership between Hall and Danny Ellis at the heart of defence proved just as crucial as the Lions shut Ferriby out for a third game this season.

Hall expects more of a footballing test from Lee Sinnott’s Altrincham, with the former Alty defender predicting an entertaining encounter.

“We said before the play-offs that three clean sheets was the target to give us a great chance and we are now two thirds of the way there,” he told Tom Feaheny.

“In the final, if we get another clean sheet, I think we have the players that can nick us a goal.

“It was an unbelievable bit of individual quality from Wayne, it’s a great strike.”

On the subject of his former club, Hall predicted that the number of familiar faces on both sides would make for a good final.

“They’re a very good team and they play football the right way. They are different from North Ferriby who played it more direct,” he added.

“Altrincham will keep the ball on the ground and hopefully it will be a more entertaining game.

“Obviously there are a few strong ties between the two clubs, with the amount of players who have played for the other side, so it will be a good final.”
