AWAY - BOXING DAY...…..
Trafford head 20 minutes up the motorway to Droylsden for this Boxing Day fixture...…. at The Butchers Arms, kick off 3pm.
Our hosts Droylsden currently sit 14th in the league and have struggled of late with only one win in the last 6. Both sides will be looking to improve on recent disappointing results.
The fixture is the first time the two sides have met this season, although we will also face ’The Bloods’ in the Manchester Cup Semi Final at Shawe View in February before the return league fixture in April 2020.
Ones to watch out for are former Trafford players Danny Wilkins and Andy Langford. "Langy" in particular was a fans' favourite and Player of the Year during his spell at Trafford, while Wilkins can score a spectacular goal or two. Droylsden's Rhys Clooney is also a youngster to watch, a hard working striker with an eye for goal who was signed by Bloods' Boss Dave Pace in the summer from Cheadle Town.
Trafford Supporters are planning a Tram expedition to East Manchester, so contact them on the TFCSC Twitter for more details of timings etc. For those making their own way, the stadium address is The Butchers Arms, Market St, Droylsden, Manchester M43 7AY.
GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!
