The Dabbers open 2024 with a home game against fellow Cheshire side 1874 Northwich at the Swansway Stadium.
North by Northwich
1874 Northwich are winless in their last 9 games and fell to the bottom of the table after Hednesford defeated the Dabbers on Boxing Day. They have only scored 3 goals in their last 8 games; their last 3 results have been a goalless draw with Stalybridge, a 5-0 loss to Kidgsrove and a 2-1 defeat to Witton on Boxing Day.
They have only won twice away from home all season, and not since September. Their 16 goals scored is the lowest in the league and their 40 conceded is the 3rd highest. There have also been 2 red cards for them in their last 4 games.
Last Time We Met
On Bank Holiday Monday in August, the Dabbers ground out a 1-0 win in Northwich courtesy of Byron Harrison’s header, still the last time the Dabbers kept a clean sheet in the league. Highlights below.
Players to Watch
Lucas Weir is 1874’s top scorer on 4, and he scored most recently in their defeat to Avro at the end of November.
Jack Marrow was their most recent goalscorer on Boxing Day. But in that game, Matthew Woolley was sent off; with 23 appearances he’s played the joint most games of anyone for them this season so if the ban applies for this game they could miss his influence.
