Match pointers
NEWCOMERS to the North West Counties League this season, 1874 Northwich and Widnes Vikings meet for the first time in the Division One Challenge Cup.

And Ian Street’s men will be desperate to improve upon a home record that has delivered only 12 goals in eight league and cup matches.

Tom Peers is available for the last time before returning to parent club Chester after signing a contract with the Skrill Premier club this week.

1874 have wasted little time finding a replacement, recruiting attacker Daley Woods from Cammell Laird.

The wide man scored on his debut for Winsford at Barton Stadium in September 2011 when Street was Blues’ boss.

Defender Danny Thomas, who sat out last Saturday’s 1-0 win at Oldham Boro after having out a wisdom tooth the previous day, is available again.

Visitors Widnes have not won away from home since a 2-1 win at Formby on August 14, a sequence of seven successive matches.

Nor have they kept a clean sheet on their travels to date.
