    A win on the road after a short on-field hiatus, was just what the doctor ordered on Wednesday night as we returned from Longridge with three points and retake the top spot in the league – for now.

    A penalty from Sam Burns at the end of the first half, alongside a debut goal for Dec Daniels to quickly cancel out the hosts equaliser was greatly received on a cold night for the Shakers faithful.

    The Macron Cup slides into the fixture calendar this weekend, with Charnock Richard visiting Gigg Lane for the first time.

    We overcame Ramsbottom United in the previous round, following a keenly fought contest last month that ended with a see-saw penalty shoot-out and Player of the Month, Gaz Peet slotting home the winning penalty in front of a healthy Riverside crowd. Highlights from that game are available below.



    Charnock have beaten Euxton Villa and Holker Old Boys in the previous rounds of this competition. With a number of postponements blighting their recent progress, despite this they are in a rich vein of form with the last loss in either league or cup coming in mid-September.



    The full match information pack can be found below.

    In Opposition – Charnock Richard

    In 1933 the Chorley Sunday League became the Chorley Alliance League and a Charnock Richard village team was entered, but on the outbreak of the Second World War the league and team were temporarily suspended. At the end of the War, in 1945, the Chorley Alliance League was reformed along with Charnock Richard F.C. The team proved to be a tremendous success, eventually winning the league title in the 1947-48 season, losing only two games, and scoring 107 goals. This success prompted them to try and run two teams, but they ran into difficulties and the club closed at the end of the 1948-49 season.

    In 1955, under the leadership of Ron Wilcox, the present club was reformed, and once again played in the Chorley Alliance League.

    Charnock progressed to the North West Counties League in 2016-17 after finishing as runners-up in the West Lancashire League in the previous season and won promotion to the Premier Division of the NWCL in the first season when finishing runners up in Division 1. In the 21-22 season the club won the North West Counties League, League Challenge Cup.

    Last season, Charnock finished 11th in NWCFL Premier Division.
