MATCH PREVIEW: MACCLESFIELD V NEWCASTLE TOWN

18 Oct 2022 | Match Preview

Danny Whitaker’s side return to the Leasing.com Stadium for the first of five consecutive home fixtures this evening, as we entertain Newcastle Town.

The lads will be looking to extend their three point lead at the Northern Premier League West Division summit this evening and will be backed by another large and vociferous crown.

Newcastle come into the game residing in eighth position, after claiming seventeen points from their opening ten games.

Jacob Lovatt’s 35th minute strike proved to be decisive last Saturday, as Castle prepared for tonight’s fixture with a 1 – 0 home victory against Bootle.
