Tomorrow, the Collieries make the journey down the M6 to take on Hallmark Security League First Division side Sandbach United in the Second Round of the Macron Cup. Atherton travel to the Sandbach Community Football Centre keen to defend their cup wining title, seeing off Colne 5-1 in last season’s final at Fleetwood Town’s Highbury Stadium.
