Vauxhall Motors face Congleton Town at The VanEupen Arena this Saturday afternoon in the NWCFL Champions Cup Final.

The Motormen have come up against great opposition so far this Summer, as Tuesday night brought a narrow defeat against Crewe, thus they are well prepared heading into the tie.

The NWCFL Champions Cup is a game between the Macron Cup Winners and the Premier Division Champions. Congleton won the Cup against Bacup in early May.

Congleton also won their last meeting against Vauxhall, 2-0 in late February.

The Bears will provide another good test as the league season edges closer.

Lewis Buckley and Connor Harwood have recently put pen to paper to extend their stay with The Motors for another year, you can expect to see both of them on the weekend.

We look forward to seeing you there!
