With high pressing a key part of Paddock&#8217;s play style, the club have played plenty of minutes this preseason. Though only Paddock&#8217;s 3rd serious preseason match, It&#8217;ll be the 8th match they play including warm up matches.<\/p>\n<p>A win will help the club stride into the Cheshire League with confidence in their step. Manager Stephen Howson shared his thoughts on the fixture:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: left;\">&#8220;I like playing Dukinfield as they represent the top tier of amateur football in Manchester meaning they are a great tool to measure our club against.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\" style=\"text-align: left;\">I think the first season they went easy on us which was not the case last season and I hope its not the case tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\" style=\"text-align: left;\">I choose to play teams like this because I\u2019m interested in getting better and that can only be done by playing the best.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Our form in preseason has been good and I\u2019m keen to finish with two good performances first against Dukinfield Town and then next week against Baiteze.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Dukinfield Town vs Stretford Paddock FC<\/p>\n<p>\u201820 &#8211; 2-1 Loss \u274c<br \/>\n\u201821 &#8211; 4-0 Loss \u274c<br \/>\n\u201822 &#8211; ?-? \ud83d\udc40<\/p>\n<p>We play one of the Manchester Premier Division\u2019s best on Sat 16th July.

The birth of Stretford Paddock was met with a baptism of fire as Dukinfield put 2 past Paddock.<\/p>\n<p>The two clubs would meet again a year later in another preseason friendly where things got worse for Paddock. A 4-0 thumping was certainly not an ideal way to kick off preseason however, Paddock went on to challenge for first place all the way to the latter stages of the season.<\/p>\n<p>Paddock&#8217;s Nico McCreath will be looking to develop on his fantastic goal scoring record this preseason. With 9 goals already, the 17 year old will be looking to get on the score sheet and stop Dukinfield making it 3 from 3 against Stretford Paddock.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6953 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/stretfordpaddockfc.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2022-07-02-at-11.25.11-PM.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stretfordpaddockfc.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2022-07-02-at-11.25.11-PM.jpeg 1500w, https:\/\/stretfordpaddockfc.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2022-07-02-at-11.25.11-PM-600x400.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/stretfordpaddockfc.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2022-07-02-at-11.25.11-PM-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/stretfordpaddockfc.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2022-07-02-at-11.25.11-PM-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/stretfordpaddockfc.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2022-07-02-at-11.25.11-PM-1024x683.jpeg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><br \/>\nKick off for tomorrow&#8217;s match is at 1pm at:<br \/>\nBlocksages Playing Fields<br \/>\nBirch Lane<br \/>\nDukinfield<br \/>\nSK16 5AW<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Come down and support the Paddock!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the third year in a row, Stretford Paddock FC will face Dukinfield Town in a preseason friendly this Saturday at Woodhams Park.
