Match Info: Burscough (A), Sat 23rd Dec, 3pm KO
In fact, it is NWCFL action from here on in after our exit from the Macron Cup last weekend at Gigg Lane. The loss by a single goal to Charnock Richard directs focus on just the league now, with 21 league games to go.
And there will be recent wrongs to put right, with our last visit to Burscough to play Skelmersdale in late November being a disappointment and the squad returning with no points following a 2-1 loss.
However, there is cause for great optimism in the league. A run of six wins out of seven has meant we keep up the pace at the top, with Wythenshawe two points ahead at the top and a Prestwich Heys side, who visit Gigg Lane on Boxing Day, just a point behind in third.
With the rush of Christmas fixtures maybe arriving too quickly for injured forward due of Andy Briggs and Benito Lowe, manager Dave McNabb will be pleased to have Dec Daniels back after his debut goal at Longridge, after he was cup-tied last weekend. The striker, with 34 goals already this term, will be looking to capitalise on the number of chances being created, which currently don’t reflect in the number of times the ball hits the back of the net.
McNabb spoke about this in his post-match interview last week, which you can find below.
