After the disappointing result against Avro on Saturday, Nantwich have the chance to bounce straight back with the first home game of the season against Vauxhall Motors, hosted at Leek Town’s F.Ball Community Stadium while the Swansway Stadium pitch is being worked on.
Get your Motors runnin’
Vauxhall got their season underway at the weekend with an exciting 2-2 draw at home to Witton Albion. Twice they saw their lead pegged back, conceding both their goals from the penalty spot.
They secured back-to-back promotions by winning the North West Counties Premier last season, ending a frustrating period where they missed out on promotions twice, once by points-per-game and the other by the null and voiding of a season during Covid when they were 10 points clear at the top.
Last Time Out
The Dabbers and Vauxhall have not met competitively since the 1999/2000 season. And over 24 historical meetings, the Dabbers have only won 7, with Vauxhall winning 14. (Thanks to Retro Dabbers for these stats)
Players to Watch
There’s a familiar surname in the Vauxhall goal as Sam Booth, brother of last season’s Dabbers favourite Tom, was part of that champion squad and should feature on Tuesday.
And Michael Burkey scored in the Witton game, adding to the goalscoring form he’d shown in pre-season.
