OULTON Park travel to higher-ranked opponents later today when they launch their latest bid to win the Cheshire Cup.

The men from Little Budworth were paired with Grappenhall, who play in the Cheshire County League’s Premier Division, in a draw for the first round.

Davenham have a familiar foe blocking their path to the next stage in the form of league rivals Oxton.

Both games start at 1pm.

Northwich are scheduled to host Stockport Trinity in the Cheshire Shield, a competition they won in 2016, at the same time.
