Mon 21st November 2022 | Fixture Changes | By Martin Fallon

There have been a whopping 40 fixture changes over the last week.

22 games that were previously postponed have been given new dates. Many of these are from the 3rd December which is the Third Round of the FA Vase, with others being as a result of the weather. In the Premier Division, Congleton v Squires Gate will be on Tuesday 6th December with Longridge Town v Ashton Athletic the Tuesday after and Prestwich Heys v Longridge Town the week after that. Lower Breck v West Didsbury & Chorlton will be on Thursday 29th December, with Bury AFC v Ashton Athletic on Wednesday 4th January and AFC Liverpool v Kendal Town on Wednesday 18th January.

In the First Division North, Holker Old Boys v Ilkley Town is on Tuesday 13th December, with Holker Old Boys v Darwen on Tuesday 10th January. Also in January is Darwen v Euxton Villa which will be on Bank Holiday Monday 2nd January, with Bacup Borough v Runcorn Town on Wednesday 4th January. In the South Division, Ashville v Cheadle Heath Nomads will be on Wednesday 30th November, with Foley Meir v Eccleshall on Saturday 3rd December. Abbey Hey v Cheadle Heath Nomads and Cheadle Town v Eccleshall are both on Tuesday 6th December, with New Mills v Brocton on Tuesday 20th December. 

In Cup Competitions, Cammell Laird 1907 host Sutton Athletic in the Wirral Senior Cup this coming Tuesday, with four postponements in the Lancashire Trophy given new dates. Nelson v FC St Helens is this coming Tuesday, replacing the scheduled league game, with Charnock Richard v Padiham on Tuesday 20th December. The other two are in January, with Daisy Hill v Radcliffe on Monday 5th January and West Didsbury & Chorlton v AFC Blackpool the following night.

There are four games in the Second Round of the Cheshire Senior Cup. Alsager Town v Vauixhall Motors and Conglton Town v Stockport Town are on Tuesday 3rd January with Runcorn Linnets v Winsford United and Stalybridge Celtic v Cammell Laird 1907 both the week after.

Prestwich Heys v Northwich Victoria has reverted back to its original date after Prestwich's removal from the Vase.

There are six kick off time changes. Bury AFC v Abbey Hey in the FA Vase is a 12.30pm kick off with Rocester v Ashille a 2.00pm kick off. Both of these are on Saturday 3rd December. Clubs  should note that should England finish as runners-up in the Group, their last 16 game will be played on this Saturday with a 3.00pm kick off.

Rocester v Stockport Town and Northwich Victoria v Barnoldswick Town on Saturday 10th December are both 2.00pm kick off, with FC Isle of Man's games at Longridge Town (Saturday 14th January) and Northwich Victoria (Saturday 25th March) both kicking off early so that the Ravens can make their return flight.

Pilkington v Bacup Borough and Barnoldswick Town have been moved to the right midweek date of Wednesday, this being on 21st December. Prewtich Heys v Longridge Town (Tuesday 20th December), Cheadle Town v Eccleshall (Tuesday 10th January) and Litherland REMYCA v West Didsbury & Chorlton (Wednesday 11th January) have all moved dates due to the placement of other games. 

Finally four games are postponed but not yet given dates. These are Cheadle Heath Nomads v Stafford Town and Nelson v FC St Helens (both this Tuesday), Foley Meir v Brocton (was Tuesday 20th December) and Northwich Victoria v Bury (was Wednesday 4th January 2023). There are still eight Premier Division games, seven First Division North games and five First Division games to rearrange, many of these from the 10th December which is the Third Round of the Macron Cup.
