Match Preview

An intriguing clash awaits as Ashton Athletic prepares to host AFC Blackpool at Brocstedes Park. In this North West Counties Division One North encounter, both teams will be eager to seize an opportunity for a turnaround in fortunes, aiming to secure vital points and gain momentum.

AFC Blackpool finds themselves at the bottom of the league, having collected 4 points from 10 games. Recent results reflect their determination to fight back, as they held Runcorn Town to a goalless draw. However, a sequence of four losses prior to that encounter underlines the challenges they've faced.

Ashton Athletic, despite their pedigree, have endured a recent dip in form with only one win in their last six matches. A tough weekend saw them suffer defeats at Nelson and Garstang within the span of three days. These setbacks have added to their motivation to bounce back and reignite their campaign.

The stage is set for an intriguing clash where both teams will look to use this fixture as a turning point. AFC Blackpool's hunger for redemption and Ashton Athletic's desire to return to winning ways promise to create an engaging spectacle for fans.

The 3 p.m. kick-off on Saturday, 2nd of September, marks the beginning of a crucial contest in a league where surprises are the norm, this clash between Ashton Athletic and AFC Blackpool holds the promise of an unpredictable and compelling encounter. We hope to see you at Brocstedes Park supporting the lads.
