Saturday 28th February, Adie Moran Park, 2pm

After setting the bar with last Saturday’s 5-0 win over AFC Monton, Heys Manager Jon Lyons will be looking for more of the same when he sends his side out to face Springhead at Adie Moran Park on Saturday.

After successive defeats against Royton and Rochdale Sacred Heart and the manner of that latter reverse, Heys were back to their best last Saturday and will have to repeat that form over their last eight games if they are to realise their promotion ambitions.

With tough away trips to Hindsford and Walshaw to follow three points are imperative this afternoon against an unpredictable Springhead.

It has been something of a stop start season for Springhead who face a possible relegation fight despite some impressive results.

Recent games have underlined this. They have won three and lost three of their last six league games but in-between times have recorded away wins at Wythenshawe Amateurs and Hindsford in the Gilgryst Cup.

Matches between Heys and Springhead have always been tight affairs from the time they battled out it for the 1st Division title in 1987 up to the present.

Heys did the double last season winning by the odd goal in nine up in Lees before a nervous late season evening at Sandgate saw Heys win 2-1.

Heys will be hoping for a more comfortable afternoon this weekend but as ever there is no doubting that this is a dangerous fixture against their old rivals.

Admission is £2/£1.
