RECREATION GROUND | BROOKBURN ROAD | CHORLTON | M21 8FE
by Matthew Durrant · 03/09/2018
West have been drawn at home to Droylsden in the first round of the Frank Hannah Manchester Premier Cup, with the game to take place on the week commencing 8 October.
The competition is one that has brought West fans plenty of cheer over the past few seasons, with away wins at Glossop North End and local rivals Maine Road being two particularly important results – but it is perhaps the away trip to FC United in February 2017 that will live longest in the memory. Despite ending in a resounding defeat, a sizeable West away following filled Broadhurst Park with noise for the duration of the game.
The full draw can be seen below. The date for the fixture will be confirmed in due course, and announced on our platforms when possible.
