Ossett Town boss Craig Elliott admits Tuesday night’s West Riding County Cup first round tie with Tadcaster Albion is not at the top of the priorities list.
Ossett are entering an important week as on Saturday Elliott’s men are travelling to Conference North outfit Colwyn Bay for their FA Cup third qualifying round clash.
Elliott is hoping to lead Ossett into the hat for the fourth qualifying round for only the second time in Ossett’s history.
Steve Kittrick is the only man to have taken Ossett that far when his team were knocked out by Leamington in 2005 and Elliott admitted that players will be rested.
Elliott could also have Jason Mycoe available. The utility man recently signed for Ossett from Paul Marshall’s Tadcaster. The West Riding's rules have been relaxed in recent years as a new player must have been signed five days before a County Cup match rather than the old rule that said players must have played at least one competitive match.

“I think it is important to bounce back (from the Darlington defeat), but I’m not going to lie, I have one eye on the FA Cup,” he said.
“We have done really well in the FA Cup and with where we are at in it, it’s a great opportunity for us.
“There will be definitely changes for Tuesday. I’ve got three or four lads that are going to get a run-out. They’re good players and have been unlucky not to be playing, it’s just that we have been on such a good run.
“It’s a difficult week for us, Darlington yesterday, Tadcaster who are top of the NCEL and then Colwyn Bay.
“I know Tadcaster have been doing well by looking at their results and I know they have a few lads who I released so I’m under no illusions that they will want to turn us over. It will be a difficult game.”
