Off the back of a 5-0 win at the weekend, Town look to make it three wins on the bounce, a third clean sheet in a row wouldn't go amiss too.

However, their soon to be hosts have had a solid second half of the season, at a ground that Town have historically struggled at.

Any away support joining us is very greatly appreciated.

The Opposition

Prestwich Heys lie 11th in the table, and 3rd in the form table having won 5 of their last 6 games.

Winger Takura Sambizi has two goals in his last three games, he was the main threat in the reverse fixture, as Town had to settle for a 1-1 draw with a persistent Prestwich.

Play-offs may be just out of reach for Ryan Hutchinson's side, but it's been a great season for a side that survived big relegation worries last season.

Striker Louis Holt is another one to look out for, his 14 goals have him second in their scoring charts, having scored three goals in his last four games.

Their stubborn defence must also be highlighted, conceding just 40 league goals, the second best defensive record in the division.

Statistically, Heys has been one of the most difficult away days for Town since promotion to the NWCFL Premier Division in 2019, they'll be hoping to arrest that record tonight.
