Cup football has a habit of throwing up some interesting results at the best of times as we all know and Scott Dundas team can go there with nothing to lose. Should Saturday’s game end all-square, the replay is likely to be on Tuesday, 29th September at Wincham Park with a 7.45pm kick off. Any replay, replacing Witton’s scheduled league fixture with Bamber Bridge.
