After the recent announcement of the Lancashire & Cheshire League introducing a league cup competition, Stretford Paddock FC have been placed in an exciting group following the Rhodes Cup draw.

Paddock have been drawn in Group D and we’ll be competing against sides from the Premier Division and Division 1. High Lane (Premier), North Walkden (Div 1), Abacus Media (Premier), Signol Old Boys (Div 1) and Manchester Polonia (Premier) will be joining our first team in Group D.

For our first fixture, we play Manchester Polonia at home on April 10th. Later fixtures are to be announced in due course.

For the season restart, we will now play our home fixtures at Valley Road Stadium, Flixton. At this moment, fans will not be allowed to attend on April 10th. However, it is possible that fans will be allowed to attend after April 12th depending on new government guidelines and restrictions regarding amateur football and spectators. Once we have official confirmation, we will notify and update our followers regarding attendance to our home fixtures.
