The competitive season is finally here! We welcome South Liverpool to Gigg Lane for our Emirates FA Cup Extra Preliminary Round tie.
We had an outstanding run in the competition last season, reaching the Fourth Qualifying Round – before losing narrowly to Harborough Town.
Our pre-season has been solid, rounding it off with a 3-1 victory against Wigan on Tuesday night. All about taking that momentum into the competitive action.
In Opposition – South Liverpool
South have won one and lost one of their opening two competitive games in the NWCFL Premier Division, an opening day defeat at home to Stockport Town 3-0, followed by a 3-1 victory at Atherton LR on Tuesday night.
We picked up victories in both games against them last season, 2-0 at Gigg Lane and 1-0 at Jericho Lane.
The club came into existence just 90 years ago this year and was relaunched in 1991.
