Motors face Hanley Town in rearranged fixture

By Ethan Hoijord

Vauxhall Motors return back to league action on Tuesday night as they play host to Hanley Town at The VanEupen Arena.

The Motormen won’t have had too much time to celebrate Saturday’s victory away at Stalybridge Celtic, coming from behind to put themselves into the lead before half-time.

Manager Danny Holmes had slammed his side’s ‘poor collective attitude’ following their recent 3-0 home defeat to Mossley, when going a goal down, it was the polar opposite on the weekend as goals from forward Joe Brandon and defender Bobby Beaumont put the visitors in front.

A couple of days prior to the match against Stalybridge, striker Lewis Buckley moved to Lower Breck thus Craig Curran started from the off with Conor Harwood.

Hanley will be looking to get back to winning ways themselves in Ellesmere Port as they have failed to win any of their last two outings, thus it’s set to be a good challenge in The Port.

All support for Holmes’ side is greatly appreciated thus we look forward to seeing you at the game!
