League-leading Brocton chasing eight in a row
North West Counties League Division One South leaders Brocton go in search of their eighth league win in a row when they visit close-rivals Eccleshall tomorrow.
Alex Curtis’s side claimed a club-record seventh consecutive victory last weekend as they scored two late goals to beat Sandbach United.
With the best form in the league, the Badgers visit Pershall Park and Eccleshall of 10 miles away, looking to maintain their top-spot in the league.
Brocton currently have a one-point lead over second-placed Market Drayton Town, and have three games in hand on them and Abbey Hey below.
