Saturday's Opponents: Holker Old Boys

First of all, apologies for the lack of activity on here since Monday. I've been working on a few new features that will enhance the Cheadle Town FC Blog experience that little bit further in the new year. Watch this space.

Right, onto Saturday and a Division Two Trophy Second Round match at home to Holker Old Boys. I was hoping to waffle the usual banal crap about them "being our bogey side" but after our 2-1 home victory in the league back in October, that doesn't apply any more and I'm rather stuck for something else to say.

What hasn't changed since then is Holker's form. They are now seven points adrift at the foot of the Div 2 table and still without a win. A victory on Saturday would probably do them the world of good and re-instate their "bogey" status.

However, as mentioned in the match report following our 2-0 home win over Padiham, Cheadle's rollercoaster is on the up at the moment and - with the utmost respect paid to Holker - this is a gilt-edged opportunity to make cup progress once more and reach the last eight of this particular tournament.

Come on Cheadle!
