With Town looking to keep the good run of form going, a trip to South Liverpool beckons tomorrow.

We are excited to report that we have some exciting news to share with you which will now be announced over the weekend.

Keep your eyes peeled on our socials.

The Opposition

After a cracking start to the season, South have slumped back into midtable.

With just one win in their last six games, Martin Ryman's side will be desperate to arrest to tough run of form.

Speaking of Ryman, he is the longest serving manager in the NWCFL, having been in charge of the South since 2001.

However South Liverpool are a very tough side to beat, as we know from October.

Town played out a 1-1 draw in the reverse fixture at Inglewhite Road.

South's Sullivan Barker cancelled out an early strike by Mason McKay as the sides settled for a point.

At that time though, South Liverpool were bang in-form, having won 4 out of 6 games.

Striker Neil Weaver is still banging them in despite the sticky form.

His 17 goals have played a massive part in their season.

He's the natural choice for the one to watch, however goalkeeper Lucas Allan's 8 MOTM awards gives the impression that he'll be hard to beat on Saturday.

For context, that's the 5th best in the division.

At a tough place to go, Town know this won't be easy by any means.

Last season taught them that.
