Vauxhall Motors return to action this Saturday afternoon with a trip to Mossley.

The Motormen will be looking to get back to winning ways, following on from defeats away at Widnes and at home to Trafford.

Manager Danny Holmes said that his side didn’t deserve anything from the game against Trafford, due to their “shambolic” performance in which “too many players went hiding”.

However, a point was nearly picked up as a goal from a well hit free kick by midfielder Ben Holmes was controversially ruled out for a foul on last season’s promotion winning shot-stopper Sam Booth.

Mossley currently sit 13th in the league table and will also be looking to get back to winning ways having only claimed six points from their last six games.

As always, your support is greatly appreciated thus we look forward to seeing you at Seel Park.
