We are back in Northern Premier League West action this Saturday as we travel to the VanEupen Arena in Ellesmere Port to face Vauxhall Motors.
This weekends fixture brings a gruelling October to a close; the trip over to The Motormen being The Shakers 6th league fixture in 19 days.
The schedule has taken its toll, and Dave McNabb provided an injury update last week on several first team absentees. The squad was boosted on Tuesday as James Neild came off the bench to make his debut for The Shakers. The recent signing from Warrington Rylands got his first minutes for the U21’s on Saturday and is in line for further first team involvement on Saturday.
The game also marks our third away league fixture in a week as we travel to Ellesmere Port looking to recapture the form that led us to six consecutive league victories in September and early October.
