Match Preview

Sandbach travel to Birkenhead Park in the semi-final of the Cheshire Vase on Thursday night, to play under the lights for a place in the final against Wirral, over the Easter weekend. Sandbach again make use of the depth of the squad, with players unavailable due to work commitments and a number called up to represent the Cheshire Harvester’s, that are playing their Lancashire equivalents the Royals, at Sedgley Park the previous evening. Birkenhead Park have not had the ideal start to the League season to date, but are always difficult opposition, particularly at home and as last weekend’s result away at Wirral showed, they are not far off turning their results around. Losing the game in the very last minute. Sandbach will be looking to continue their decent run of form, but face a number of tricky fixtures in the next few weeks, so it is vital they keep this momentum going and give themselves chances for some silverware, come the end of the season.
