Match Preview

Heys make the trip across Manchester to face West Didsbury & Chorlton on Tuesday night in the NW Counties Premier Division (7.45pm).

After Saturday’s 1-1 draw at Burscough, Heys remain in the play-off places, in fifth, albeit only on goal difference from a resurgent Padiham. Both teams are locked on 58 points, but Heys do have five games in hand on the Lancashire side. Despite a recent downturn in form, which has seen only one point collected in the last three games, Heys play-off hopes still rest in their own hands but they will be looking to get back to winning ways soon to ensure that remains the case.

Didsbury are eleventh with 46 points from 34 games. After a solid start to the season, which saw them on the cusp of the top five, a run of five successive defeats over the Xmas and New year period saw them lose ground. Three successive wins over Barnoldswick, Burscough and Cheadle arrested that slide before a 4-3 defeat at the hands of AFC Liverpool in their last outing on 6th February. They look to have a lot to do if they are to get back in the hunt for a play off place but will see tomorrow night’s game as an ideal opportunity to do so.
