Witton travel to Evo-Stik West side Atherton Collieries on Tuesday evening in their penultimate Pre Season Friendly. Atherton have had a strong campaign so far and this games represents their final warm-up before the season gets underway with a Colliery Cup tie against Pontefract at the weekend. A run of 23 goals in three friendlies shows that Collieries can be prolific in front of goal, scoring eleven in one game. Witton are in good form themselves having won each of their last three games and will hope to take that form into their final two practice games. Their last visit to Collieries was in an FA Cup tie a couple of seasons ago when Witton came away with a 7-2 win but, pre season friendlies are totally different and there have been a lot of changes in personnel since that day. Kick off at The Kensite Stadium is 7.45pm.
