Motors face Bootle in eagerly-awaited derby

Vauxhall Motors return to league action this Saturday afternoon as they travel to local rivals Bootle.

The Motormen have hit form in the last couple of weeks, picking up their first three points at The VanEupen Arena before beating Mossley away from home in the FA Trophy.

It was a dominant performance at Mossley’s ground, Seel Park, and two quick fire goals in the second half ensured that Mick McGraa’s team’s efforts were rewarded with progression into the next round.

Bootle will provide a strong challenge at New Bucks Park as The Bucks, managed by Dave McNabb, are unbeaten in their last five outings after finishing 13th last season.

All support for The Motormen is greatly appreciated thus we look forward to seeing you back on the road!
