Saturday sees Witton take a break from league action, as they go in search of further progress in this season’s Emirates FA Challenge Cup when Farsley Celtic visit Wincham Park - 3pm kick off. The Yorkshiremen reaching this stage following a 3-0 victory against Stocksbridge Park Steels in a replay after a 1-1 draw. The fixture also gives everyone at Witton the opportunity, to once again welcome former Albion player Neil Parsley, in his capacity as Farsley Celtic manager. Witton must surely be in buoyant mood going into the tie, following on from Tuesday’s league success at Droylsden and will be hopeful of making further progress.
Should Saturday’s game be drawn, the replay will take place at Farsley’s - Throstle Nest Ground on Tuesday. Kick off - 7.45pm.

Come on guys get down to the h4h stadium on Saturday and cheer the players on to victory and a lucrative FA cup run, and bring in extra money to the club, not to mention all the prestige that comes with a good cup run. Wouldn’t it be nice if we could do what Warrington did last season?
This should be a good match this and one that we really need to win ! lets hope we have a good following for the FA cup I still think its a great event for non league clubs - bet 2012 Northwich are looking forward to it !!! I see on their forum they are trying to wind us up by saying we may have been formed in 1890 not 1887 to be honest who cares ? they were formed in 2012 and choose to use a link to the club they hate lol, for me a club called “Witton Albion” was playing in 1887 and that’s good enough for me.
Good luck tomorrow everyone at Witton Albion ( we don’t need a date to be memorable ) UTA
Well said CJ, they are right about 1890 but as “1874” claim that date, they were actually formeded just a year or two before us, but as you say we are still the original club, neither of them are.
WHS.
