This Saturday sees Heys travel to St. Helens Town looking to maintain their late push for promotion. (3pm).
The hosts play on an artificial pitch, so the game is pretty much certain to go ahead. The fixture marks the start of the run in to the end of the season with only ten weeks remaining of the campaign.
Heys have twelve League games to play in that period as they look to close the eight-point gap on the top four places, that guarantee promotion.
Shelley presently occupy that fourth position with Heys holding a game in hand. Whilst catching the Yorkshire side is doable the margin for error is minimal and Manager Matt Barnes will be looking for his side to pick up three points this weekend against a St. Helens side that are presently second bottom.
Nonetheless, Heys will have to be mindful of their hosts. This is a competitive division where no results can be guaranteed. Only last Saturday, Saints held third placed AFC Liverpool to a 2-2 draw, having at one point led by two goals.
Heys go into the game with only one defeat in their last eight games, six of those against sides in the top half of the table, from which 15 points have been collected.
When the teams met at Adie Moran Park in November, Heys edged a tight contest 2-1 courtesy of goals from Jacob Holt and Mark Ayres. Interestingly, Holt is one of only five players from that game who are likely to figure in Heys squad this weekend.
Some Heys fans are making a day of it. If you want to join them on a train day out it departs Victoria 1147 into Wigan NW 1218 then 1248 into St. Helens 1300. Return cost £9.50..meet Whitefield Metro 11am or at Victoria
