After the euphoria of the opening day in the league, the subsequent disappointments, then back on track for a moment before another defeat, we can leave the NPL Premier on hold for a couple of weeks and turn our concentration to the FAC.
I don't recall Reds ever meeting Prestwich Heys previously, so I think this is a first?
Prestwich Heys ply their trade in the North West Counties Premier Division www.nwcfl.com/league-tables.php along with Kendal, Colne, Ramsbottom and Glossop NE. They have only ever reached the 2QR on three occasions. 1974, 1979 and 1984. On each occasion, they were defeated.
Reds are 18th with 6 points from 6 games (NPL Premier)
Prestwich Heys are 15th with 8 points from 6 games (NWCPD)
Reds at home in the league 2-0-1
Prestwich Heys away in the league 1-0-2
Recent Prestwich Heys results:
22 Aug Cheadle 2-4 Prestwich Heys
15 Aug Prestwich Heys 2-5 Wythenshawe
19 Aug Penistone 0-2 Prestwich Heys (FACPR)
12 Aug Squires Gate 2-2 Prestwich Heys
8 Aug Charnock Richard 0-0 Prestwich Heys
5 Aug Prestwich Heys 3-1 Bootle (FACEPR)
1 Aug Prestwich Heys 3-0 Pilkington
Two victories in FAC already under their belt, Prestwich Heys will no doubt be buoyed by a giant killing opportunity.
This is tie #15 in FACR1 and Reds have to be happy playing at home and against a lower ranked team. Goes without saying that a victory is a must. 1QR winners receive £2250 and place in the draw for 2QR. Losers receive £750.
As I understand it, the tie will be played to 90 minutes, then a replay will be required.
Come on you Reds
