The Mariners are still unbeaten this season in the league, having won their previous game away from home against Curzon Ashton, which ended 2-1, with goals coming from Paul Blackett and a wondergoal from Caden Kelly to secure the win!

Chorley currently sit 3rd in the Enterprise National League North and in their most recent FA Cup fixture, they were victorious in a 1-0 win against Congleton Town!

Their ones to watch will definitely be Jack Sampson, who has netted 4 goals this season in the league, as well as Craig Hewitt.
