Match Pointers

1874 NORTHWICH meet Wigan Robin Park for the first time with a place in the FA Vase first round as a prize for the victor.

Ian Street’s men have been picked as the Premier Division’s best team during September, winning five of six league matches.

They also beat Oldham Boro in this competition, though required extra time to do so.

Mike Aston is available again after returning from holiday, while new recruit from Mossley Kevin McGrath could make his debut in defence.

Paul Connor, absent for Tuesday’s 1-0 win at home to Bootle, returns for 1874 too.

If selected, attacker Matthew Ward will make his 50th appearance for the club.

Wigan, relegated from the top flight last season, are 13th in Division One.

They have lost four of their past five games in all competitions, and have won only once on the road.

Winsford United, landlords of 1874, ended their involvement in last season’s edition.
