Match Preview

Witton take a break from league action on Saturday afternoon when they travel to Northern Premier League Premier Division Lancaster City in the Emirates FA Challenge Cup First Qualifying Round.

The Dolly Blues are in-form and currently sit in fourth place in the table but the cup has a habit of upsets and hopefully this can be one of them.

Witton will look to continue their cup run but will need to perform better than they did in the game at Runcorn Linnets on Bank Holiday Monday.

One positive from the game being Connor Hughes first goal since returning from injury.

Lancaster have been a bit of a bogey team in FA competitions for Witton as the two sides have met three times in the Cup and Trophy, the Dolly Blues winning on each occasion.

Witton will be hoping to address that in this game and at the very least, looking to bring them back to the U Lock It Stadium for the replay.

Kick off at Giant Axe Stadium is 3pm.
