Friday Night Preview: Nantwich Town

A tough game awaits the Holy Blues on Saturday as one of the form teams head to the Gainsborough Martin and Co Arena in the PitchingIn Northern Premier League, looking to continue their ascent of the table, a run that has seen them climb one place above Trinity in the standings, after the same number of games. Nantwich boast five wins from their last eleven league games, amassing 33 points, following their victory over us at the Optimum Pay Stadium on that misty evening in Cheshire back at the start of January.

Details

Shaw's Trinity side will be looking to avenge that defeat and will be looking for more of the same from the Northolme faithful, continuing to back the Blues in both number and noise. Ahead of the fixture, Head Coach, Tom Shaw intimated, "Nantwich have been on an excellent run of late and I was impressed with them in our tight fixture at their place. They will cause us some problems and we will have to be at a good level of performance today to come out on top."

Kindly sponsored by our home shirt sponsors, Rase Veterinary Centre are sponsoring the deal that sees us able to offer u16s free admission to the game, when accompanied by a paying adult. With one of the best home records in the league this season, confidence in the camp is undoubtedly high as we look to continue our fine run of home form that has seen us beaten only twice this season on home turf.

Trinity have an almost full, clean bill of health ahead of the weekend, with Joe Wilson coming through Tuesday night's training session with flying colours. Shaw's squad is further boosted with the addition of Josh Hinds, announced earlier today, signing from Hull City. All news which gives plenty of cause for optimism ahead of the latest game at fortress Northolme.
