Match Preview

MIDLAND LEAGUE PREMIER DIVISION

SATURDAY 3rd FEBRUARY 2024 3.00pm KICK OFF

LICHFIELD CITY v NORTHWICH VICTORIA

Our opponents this weekend are Lichfield City who currently lie 2nd in the League 9 points behind the leaders Congleton Town but with 2 games in hand so will be desperate for a win to keep up their automatic promotion chances.
The Club began life in the 1970’s as Beacon Rangers before changing it's name to Beacon Park. In June 2006 a decision was made by the Committee to change the club’s name to Lichfield City FC in order to raise its profile in the local community. The Club was promoted to the Midland Premier League in 2021 and finished 3rd in its' first season there before slipping down to 11th in the 22/23 season. Their leading scorer is Dan Smith who has the rather impressive record of 27 goals in 27 matches

Vics will be hoping to gain their first League away win this season and bounce back from a couple of disappointing results in our last 2 home matches
This is one of the nearer away fixtures , so why not venture south and cheer the lads on
