ASHTON UNITED vs FARSLEY CELTIC
DATE: TUESDAY 15TH AUGUST 2017
KO: 7:45PM
VENUE: Hurst Cross, Surrey Street, Ashton-under-Lyne, Lancashire, OL6 8DY.
Ashton United will host Farsley Celtic in the Robins’ first home game of the 2017/18 Evo-Stik League Northern Premier - Premier Division season!
The Robins come into the game after a hard-earned draw away from home against Hednesford Town in the first fixture of the season.
Manager Jody Banim will be pleased to see star striker Matty Chadwick get on the scoresheet on the opening day of the league season and will be hoping to see plenty more from him as the Robins aim for promotion.
The Robins will have a tough test from Farsley Celtic, who began the campaign with a 3-1 victory over Coalville Town.
Ashton will need to be switched on in all areas of the pitch as the opponents are very good at counter attacking but we expect an entertaining game under the floodlights.
The Robins’ will be hoping to treat the home fans to three points as the league fixtures begin to come thick and fast.
