Youth fixture update

The Youth Team opens its league campaign on Sunday with a visit to Warrington Town. The game will take place at Cantilever Park where many will remember a rather wet friendly some years by.

For the programme buffs amongst you they intend to produce a modest number for the occasion and will be organising a raffle.

Warrington have played a number of games against FC United teams but this will be the first competitive game as they join the NWYA. You will no doubt remember we were denied a competitive first team visit by the arbitrary drawing of the boundaries between the North and South divisions of Unibond One.

Further news is that the friendly with Ashton Town has been cancelled as the hosts are struggling to get a team together. We hope to rearrange the game later in the season.

This is another ground which missed out on competitive first team action as their home game in our first season was played at Northwich. Some of you were able to visit the following season with the reserves as a game at Gigg Lane was called off due to water main problems at the junction of Manchester Road.
