Vauxhall Motors FC preview.

Charnock Richard (H) The VanEupen Arena. 
NWCFL Premier. 

After getting back to winning ways with a 2-0 victory at home to Barnoldswick Town, Vauxhall Motors host Charnock Richard at The VanEupen Arena this Saturday.

It was important for The Motormen to get the three points, having fallen to second with two defeats in their most recent outings, as Conor Harwood and Michael Burkey netted.

However, Charnock will provide a threat when they travel to Ellesmere Port as the gritty Chorley based side beat their opponents 2-0 in the reverse fixture earlier in the campaign.
