Match Preview: Bootle FC vs Nantwich Town
By Brendan Doyle
In our last fixture in September we welcome Nantwich Town to the Berry Street Garage Stadium in a battle for three points in the Northern Premier League Division One West and The Bucks look to make it eight wins in eight games.
The Bucks head into the fixture in excellent form, having won each of their opening seven league games of the campaign. Most recently, a 1-0 victory away to Congleton Town continued Bootle’s perfect league record, while victories over Lower Breck, Kidsgrove Athletic and Vauxhall Motors have also contributed to an impressive run of results with four consecutive clean sheets in the Northern Premier League Division One West.
Nantwich, meanwhile, have begun to find their rhythm after a difficult opening to the season. The Dabbers recorded their first league victory with a convincing 4-0 win over Congleton Town before following it up with another impressive result, defeating 1874 Northwich 3-0 away from home, but were more recently hit with a 3-2 defeat away to Shifnal Town. The Dabbers will be very keen to return to good form tonight in an attempt to start climbing further up the division.
