The Dabbers will be hoping to extend their 10 match home unbeaten run in the league when Wythenshawe Town visit the Swansway Stadium tomorrow evening.
Still some way to equal the 21 match post-war sequence for unbeaten home league games!

Storm Darragh permitting, Dabbers striker BYRON HARRISON is in line to make his 100th Nantwich appearance at Wythenshawe Town.
With 33 goals in 99 matches, his strike rate of 1 in 3 is pretty impressive.

A dismal day for the Dabbers with a disappointing defeat to Marine. The mercurial Rob Hughes netted a consolation in the Cheshire County League at Crosby as Nantwich lost 4-1.

Good luck to Mark Lawton who featured for the Dabbers in the late 80s. After enjoying success at the helm of AFC Alsager, Mark has been appointed Manager of NW Counties League side Foley Meir.
