YOUR CLUB NEEDS YOU AT SATURDAY’S NORTHERN LEAGUE FIXTURE
The final fixture of the 2023 Northern Track & Field League West Premier Division is due to take place at Trafford on Saturday 19th August. The club currently lies second in the table, just one point off the top spot, meaning the club can still be crowned champions and qualify for the Northern League finals on 9th September. Second year Under 17s, Under 20s and Seniors should contact team managers Alan Littler, Dave McKay and Jenny Manning with their availability ASAP to ensure your club has a strong and successful end to the season.
