A couple of days on from the emphatic 6-1 victory over Lower Breck at The VanEupen Arena, Vauxhall Motors are back in action as they face Winsford United FC.

The return fixture, in late August, brought arguably the game of the season as Michael Burkey netted a 96th minute winner in Ellesmere Port.

If The Motormen are to repeat the scoreline, they could be fired back up to first place.

The initial fixture between the two sides, scheduled to take place last month, was postponed due to floodlight issues.

Lee Duckworth’s Blues have failed to win any of their last three, losing narrowly away at Fc Isle Of Man last time out.
