West Men cup fixture updates

Fixture news related to two cup campaigns for our Men's team

Midland League Cup 2nd Round: Northwich Victoria (A)

Our trip to Northwich Victoria in the Midland League Cup 2nd Round has been brought forward to Saturday 21st November. The winners will travel in the 3rd Round to either Cheadle Town or Winsford United, who meet in the other tie.

The change of date means three weeks of consecutive cup ties for Lee Rick's side. We're at home to Sporting Khalsa on Saturday 14th November before heading to play Northwich Victoria a week later, and it's another home tie against Retford in the FA Vase on Saturday 28th November.

Manchester Premier Cup 1st Round: Ashton United (A)

We've been drawn away to Ashton United in the 1st Round of the Manchester Premier Cup, with the date still to be confirmed.

The Manchester Premier Cup, also known as the Frank Hannah Manchester Premier Cup, is run by the Manchester FA and dates back to 1934. It started life as the Manchester County FA Shield, became the Manchester Intermediate Cup in the 1950s and has carried its current name since 1980.

Ashton United are the most successful club in the competition's history, ahead of Droylsden and Mossley, and they've lifted it twice in the last five years, in 2021/22 and again in 2023/24 on penalties against Avro. Droylsden are the current holders, having beaten Curzon Ashton 2-1 in the final last April.

The date and time of this tie is to be confirmed.
