FA Vase First Round Qualifying
Sandbach United play host to Northern Counties East League Premier Division side Athersley Recreation in the first qualifying round of the Buildbase FA Vase on Saturday.
Sandbach have made a decent start to their league campaign, picking up six points from their first five games. United will be looking to get back to winning ways as they lost 1-0 to seventh place Stone Alleynians on Bank Holiday Monday. Sandbach manager Andy Hockenhull will be hoping that his side have their shooting boots on after striking 16 shots at goal on Saturday and not scoring one of them.
Athersley on the other hand, nicknamed The Penguins will be hoping to slide into the next round of the competition on Saturday, however they haven’t picked up a point all season, they recently lost 3-2 away from home to Thackley.
