Longridge Town v Vauxhall Motors Preview.
Saturday 19th November 2022.
NWCFL Premier Division
The Recycling Lives Ground

Vauxhall Motors will look to bounce back from their gutting Tuesday night defeat at home to Prestwich Heys when they face Longridge Town at The Recycling Lives Ground this weekend.

Town are currently placed 19th in the table, after sixteen games, despite being unbeaten in their last four outings.

Saturday will bring the second meeting between the two clubs this season, with the last game being played at The VanEupen Arena in September resulting in a goalless draw.

A win on the weekend for The Motors will mean that they are first in the table at 5pm as Wythenshawe Town are in Macron Cup action, a win for Longridge will take them up to 18th if FC Isle Of Man lose against Winsford United.
