Vauxhall Motors travel away to Avro on Saturday afternoon looking to get back to winning ways.

The Motormen were left regretting the great chances that they had failed to take as their midweek trip to Hednesford Town resulted in a one-all draw.

Vauxhall netted first though Bobbie McDonnell before the persistent Jai Verma kept his club’s survival hopes alive.

Forward Bisensio Kamilo returned back from a lengthy injury to net twice in last Saturday’s 3-1 victory against Stalybridge Celtic. He was unavailable for the trip to Staffordshire but is expected to be back this time ‘round against last season’s fellow NWCFL Premier Division promotion winners.

Avro drew two-all at Kidsgrove Athletic on Tuesday night and will be looking to climb up from their current position of 12th.

As always, your support is greatly appreciated. Thus, we look forward to seeing you back on the road!
