Witton begin their “Home” pre season programme on Tuesday night when they welcome tenants Northwich Victoria in a friendly.
Despite being labelled as a “friendly” the teams will Contest the “Vijay Anthwal Memorial Shield” as in previous years.
Witton currently hold the shield and will be hoping to retain it for another year.
This season’s fixture sees a very different Northwich squad following their move to the Midland Premier League, and changes in personnel on the field will need time to make their mark.
The new look Vics have kicked off their pre season with a 4-1 defeat at neighbours Lostock Gralam and then followed that with a 1-1 draw at Welsh side Conwy Borough at the weekend.
Witton kicked off their pre season programme with an excellent performance and result at Alsager Town, a chance for the players who have re signed for another year and also new signings looking to make an impression.
Should the game be drawn, penalty kicks will detemine whether Witton retain the shield or Northwich Victoria win it for the first time.
Kick off at the U Lock It Stadium is 7.45pm.
