Match Preview

Witton return to the U Lock It Stadium on Saturday afternoon when they welcome Northern Premier League new-boys Avro FC in a West Division fixture.

The Oldham-based club have made a good start to life in the league since gaining promotion from the North West Counties Premier Division at the end of last season.

For a big part of their campaign, they appeared to look like Champions only to be caught and overtaken by eventual winners Vauxhall Motors.

They have assembled a squad that has a lot of experience in it as a number of their players have played at Premier Division level in the past.

A draw at highly fancied Bootle in midweek wasn’t the worst result, and Joe Duckworth got on the score sheet for the first time this season following his return from suspension.

Avro suffered their first league defeat of the season in midweek, going down by the only goal at home to City of Liverpool FC so will be looking to get back to winning ways again.

The game is the first-ever meeting between the two teams so it’s a difficult one to predict but, Avro will have a plan to work on whilst Jon Macken’s team will be looking to keep their unbeaten start to the season going.

Kick off at the U Lock It Stadium is 3pm.
