This Saturday, Sandbach return to Bradwall Road for the final outing of 2025 against neighbours Northwich. When the two teams met in September, Northwich came out on top in a narrow contest. Sandbach will be looking to reverse their fortunes this time out against their close rivals. With Christmas just days away, ‘Bach will seek to end the year on a high and give the home crowd the ultimate early Christmas present.

The team will also be looking to build on last week’s gutsy win away at Douglas, despite having had a few issues in getting back to the mainland, due to the weather. They will also be hoping to get some players back for the weekend and that the rain holds off enough, to help facilitate their traditional expansive game. Whatever they will be anticipating that the local support can again be the extra man, in what will no doubt be another tight local derby.
