Saturday's Opponents: Kirkham and Wesham
If you've been on a train from Manchester to Blackpool North in your lifetime then the phrase "Kirkham and Wesham" will be familiar to you as one of the stops between Preston and Blackpool North itself. Those who choose to follow their NWCFL teams via the railways instead of the roads now have an excuse to get off at K&H.
Coming into existence in the early 1900s, Kirkham and Wesham spent - until now - all of their lives in the West Lancashire League. The turn of the new millennium brought K&H their most golden of periods. From the 1999-2000 season they have been champions of the West Lancashire League six times; if your maths ain't that good, that's six times out of seven seasons!
They were granted membership of the NWCFL for this season and have made an equally imperious start to their new life. They walloped Darwen 5-0 on the first day of the season and have beaten Holker Old Boys 2-0 - both at their new Kellamergh Stadium ground - thus lending further weight to the claims from "those in the know" that say that K&H will "walk this division" this season.
We'll see about that particular claim as it's early days yet. However, it looks like another awkward fixture for the Cheadle. Tomorrow sees the return of Heathy and Andy Lindon to the squad, so we'll be at full strength...and the return of my partner-in-crime Polardin.
Come on Cheadle!

yes I am back from my pre season Italia trip, unfortunatly my wife picked up a injury tearing here achilles tendon in the Bassilica in Venice. She is going to miss the first couple of months of the season. Hope to have her at least fit for the bench by October.
Catching up on all the Cheadle news seems I have missed quite a lot. All seasons start a little unceratainly. Padiham is always a tough game especially if your lucks out.
it seems that Mike Myers has slotted in with a brace of goals.
Well after a long lay off I am looking forward to it. A new line up, a new opposition, come on the Cheadle!
