This Saturday the First Team travel into the unknown as they travel for a First Rounf Laithwaite Shield tie with Haydock JFC.
Due to the league being disbanded that they was due to be playing in, Haydock applied to the Wigan Amateur League and was granted entrance and fixtures from the start of September. They played their first fixture last Saturday and recorded a 3-5 defeat at home to Leigh Rangers.
Haydock Juniors FC was formed in 1996 by Graham and Janet Barker and Geoff and Chris Bate, when their sons wanted to play in a local team. It was decided to start trials and two teams were set up in the St Helens league. Both sons have now progressed into the adult section of the club.
The club started with a U13s and an U11s and then a mini soccer team at U8, before progressing into adult football.
There are no recorded meetings at open age level between the two clubs.
Your match referee on Saturday is Mr Andy Thompson.
