Its Emirates FA Cup action for Heys on Friday night as we travel to Atherton Collieries in the Preliminary Round. (7.45pm)
Heys reached this stage with 4-2 win at Wythenshawe Town a fortnight ago, on the back of a superb second half performance. In Colls they now face another Northern Premier League Division West side, who received a bye in the previous round and opened up their season last weekend.
The hosts go into the game having suffered defeats in their opening two League matches, losing 2-0 at home to Runcorn Linnets on Saturday before going down 1-0 at Stalybridge on Tuesday.
Heys too are looking for their first League win, having picked up two points from four games, but they can take encouragement at being unbeaten on the road thus far this season with the cup win coming in between 1-1 draws at Euxton Villa and Stockport Town.
The sides met last month in their now annual pre-season friendly at Adie Moran Park, with Colls winning 2-1. However, both sides will look much different and will be set for a more intense contest tomorrow night as they look to bring some FA Cup cheer for their fans.
Colls play at The Dreams2Reality Stadium, Alder Street, Atherton, Manchester, M46 9EY
