On Saturday we welcome 1874 Northwich to Alder House. It will be the club's fourth visit to downtown Atherton since their formation in 2012, following competitive matches against Collieries are former tenants Oldham Boro. Despite it being their fourth visit, this will be only the second time they have faced Colls away from home. The last time the two sides met was in March 2014, when a Mike Brandon goal gave 1874 all three points. The reverse fixture came around less than a month later, where Kieran Halliwell headed Colls into a lead at the Barton Stadium before a deserved equaliser arrived.
