AFTER last Saturday’s dramatic last gasp win at Widnes, Warrington Rylands 1906 return to Gorsey Lane on Saturday for their first home game of 2022 where they face Mossley AFC in the NPL West.
Like Rylands, Mossley started 2022 with a win winning 2-1 away against Ramsbottom United, their first league win since 26th October, eleven games ago a run which has seen the Lilywhites drop from top of the table to 8th, seven points off the last promotion playoff spot.
Last Saturday’s win came after Andy Keogh had given them a 54th minute lead only for Ramsbottom to level the score before former Warrington Town forward Jack Bannister snatched the winner in the 79th minute.
The two team’s respective league records going into Saturday’s game are:
P W D L GF GA GD PTS POS
Rylands 21 13 4 4 52 28 24 43 3
Mossley 21 11 2 8 36 34 2 35 8
The two teams met at Mossley’s Seel Park on 2nd October with the home side sitting top of the table and Rylands in 6th place. A crowd of 419 saw Rylands win 3-0 with goals from Joe Coveney, Owen Robinson and Charlie Doyle.
Mossley’s league record away from Seel Park this season is:
