DO THEY MEAN US? PRESCOT CABLES
Get in the mood for Valentines Day by seeing the team you love in action!

For the third time of asking, next Tuesday (13th February 7.45pm) sees The Blues heading tup the M6 for what is an absolutely huge game for both ourselves and second placed Prescot Cables.

Whilst our recent form has been outstanding, Cables have also been very consistent and will provide the sternest of tests. That’s’ why we’ll need as many of the True Blue Army there as possible to cheer the lads on. It’s something we always bang on about, but the management and players absolutely love seeing you there!

The True Blue Army will assemble at?
