THE full Carlsberg West Cheshire league programme was wiped out on Saturday and it is hoped that conditions improve for the clutch of fixtures scheduled for the forthcoming week.

On Wednesday four fixtures are set to take place with league leaders Maghull visiting Cammell Laird Reserves.

After a poor start Lairds have shown improved form and will prove to be a stiff test as the North Liverpool side bid to win their 1st title since joining the league.

Many eyes will be on the Ashville v West Kirby clash. As league champions Kirby have had to rebuild their team this time round and although form has been inconsistent they got the better of Ashville in last months Cheshire Amateur Cup tie. For their part second placed Ashville are bidding to achieve the rare feat of becoming champions of Division 1 and Division 2 in successive seasons.

Also on Wednesday the young Vauxhall Reserves outfit will be hoping to make home advantage count when attempting to avenge October’s 2-0 defeat at the hands of opponents Christleton. Christleton are one of four clubs propping up the table on 13 points and any reward at Rivacre Road would be a welcome advance Christmas present.

Another youthful outfit Marine Reserves will be aiming to end a run of three successive defeats when they entertain fellow Liverpool side Mossley Hill Athletic who enter the fixture on the back of successive 4-1 league victories.

When the pair met in September Athletic ran out victors by four goals to nil and will be keen to complete the double as they continue to establish themselves in Division 1.
