Malone Field side facing battle

Apr 18 2008 by Our Correspondent, Liverpool Daily Post

WIRRAL round off a season of mixed fortunes in South Lancashire/Cheshire One League with a visit to third-placed Wigan tomorrow.

They will retain the squad which saw off Bowdon last week.

Widnes, sitting in mid table like Wirral, host Anselmians, who badly need a win to raise hopes of league survival.

The Malone Field side is vying with Ruskin Park and Aspull to avoid the drop.

Hoylake could do Anselmians a favour by beating Ruskin Park at Melrose Avenue but will be missing some players through injury.

Aspull look for a much-needed success at Bowdon.

Aspull and Ruskin still each have one game to play in the division after postponements last week.

Wilmslow will be champions with Burnage set to take the runners-up spot.

Ormskirk go to Dukinfield in a Division Two top-of-the-table clash.

Dukinfield will finish top and a point will make absolutely certain of the runners-up place for Ormskirk and will leave Sefton and Orrell Anvils just missing out.

Sefton finish at home to Southport and the Anvils welcome Warrington.

Oldershaw and Collegiate will go down.

They host Crewe and Nantwich and Ashton-on-Mersey respectively.

Douglas have already made sure of the Division Three title ahead of Trentham. Prenton and Parkonians are set for relegation.

The two meet at Holm Lane and the losers will finish bottom.

The Division Four programme has already been completed.

Meanwhile Wallasey and Prenton will meet in the final of the Wirral Floodlit Cup which will be played at New Brighton on Friday of next week (kick-off 7.30pm).
