GLOSSOP NORTH END V PRESCOT CABLES

Glossop can move nine points clear from the relegation play-off spots with victory on Saturday against Prescot Cables.

Stuart Mellish’s side will look to get back on track after a mixed run of results in March, picking up four points out of a possible 12.

North End’s last fixture resulted in a 0-0 draw against strugglers Newcastle Town, where the Blues had great opportunities and a goal disallowed to win the game and move further clear from the danger zone.

Our opponents this Saturday will look to use their momentum from their recent fixtures and jump above Newcastle Town out of the relegation play-off spot with a victory.

Prescot earned a valuable draw against second-placed and promotion-chasing Workington last time out to move them level on points with Newcastle and giving them an excellent fighting chance of staying in the division.

The Pesky Bulls’ one to watch is Sam O’Halleron, who has netted 10 goals since December and netted a 90th minute winner in their most recent victory against Kendal Town.

With only six points separating GNE and Cables, the visitors will look to bridge that gap to only a win between both and drag the Hillmen into an unwanted end of season battle.

The Merseyside outfit could not have hit form at a better time and will look to disrupt the hosts’ chances of their first three points since their three points since the 1st March.

Earlier on in the season, the Blues ran out 2-0 winners at Valerie Park courtesy of a Jamie Rainford double.

With it being the first full season since the 2018/19 campaign, it is nice to see a run-in fixture list that everyone can look forward to, and with victory on Saturday, our supporters will feel more at ease given the position we’d occupy going into the final four fixtures.

Kick-off at the Amdec Forklift stadium is at 3pm and we look forward to seeing our supporters in numbers and getting behind the team!
