All that remains for Stretford Paddock in what can only be described as a &#8216;mixed&#8217; first season in the Cheshire League is a home fixture against West Disbury &amp; Chorlton Reserves. Despite Paddock no longer fighting for promotion, any kind of result tomorrow would ensure that the YouTube side&#8217;s first season in the Cheshire League ends with a top half finish.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Situational Preview<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Stretford Paddock currently sit 8th in Division 2 of the Cheshire League, level on points with Haydock who have a superior goal difference. Haydock, however, have played all 26 of their games this season meaning that a draw or win for Paddock would guarantee them a top half finish.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s tough for Paddock to see a 7th place finish as a success down to the fact the club were at one point just a handful of points away from the top 3. Despite this however, when considering the large amount of injuries and the permanent loss of some key players &#8211; 7th is respectful.<\/p>\n<p>West Didsbury &amp; Chorlton are currently in 10th place in Division 2 but have 2 games remaining. They need to win both to make sure they finish 9th however, depending on results elsewhere, they might only need one win.<\/p>\n<p>When the two sides faced each other 8 months ago, Paddock were 3-0 victors in what was their first victory of the season. It would also be the first win of their 7 win streak in the Cheshire League.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Opponent Watch<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>West Didsbury &amp; Chorlton Reserves are currently in 10th place in the Cheshire League division 2. They have played 23 games, winning 8, drawing 7 and losing 8. They have scored 42 goals and conceded 33.<\/p>\n<p>They are a young side with players from a number of academies in Cheshire. The skill level of their players is high.<\/p>\n<p>Their form has been mixed of late, wining 3 and losing 3 of their last 6 games. It will for sure be a tough game for the Paddock boys considering their opponents also have something to play for.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Team News<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>After serving his 1 game suspension against Moore United, Stretford Paddock&#8217;s captain, James Oatt, will return to the line up.<\/p>\n<p>One man who has returned to training after a long absence is Paddock midfielder, Dom Molloy. Dom was a key player for Paddock during their impressive unbeaten run however, a number of reasons including multiple injuries has kept him out of the team.<\/p>\n<p>We will have to wait and see wether or not Dom returns to the first team squad for Paddock&#8217;s final outing of the 22\/23 season.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">\ud83d\udea8\ud835\uddd9\ud835\udddc\ud835\uddeb\ud835\udde7\ud835\udde8\ud835\udde5\ud835\uddd8 \ud835\udde1\ud835\uddd8\ud835\uddea\ud835\udde6\ud83d\udea8<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s our final fixture of the \ud835\udfee\ud835\udfee\/\ud835\udfee\ud835\udfef \ud835\udde6\ud835\uddf2\ud835\uddee\ud835\ude00\ud835\uddfc\ud835\uddfb where we welcome \ud835\uddea\ud835\uddf2\ud835\ude00\ud835\ude01 \ud835\uddd7\ud835\uddf6\ud835\uddf1\ud835\ude00\ud835\uddef\ud835\ude02\ud835\uddff\ud835\ude06 &amp; \ud835\uddd6\ud835\uddf5\ud835\uddfc\ud835\uddff\ud835\uddf9\ud835\ude01\ud835\uddfc\ud835\uddfb \ud835\udde5\ud835\uddf2\ud835\ude00\ud835\uddf2\ud835\uddff\ud835\ude03\ud835\uddf2\ud835\ude00.<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udcc5 Sat 20 May<br \/>\n\ud83d\udd51 2:00PM<br \/>\n\ud83d\udccd Manchester Enterprise Academy, M22 9RH<br \/>\n\ud83c\udfc6 <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CheshireFL?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@CheshireFL<\/a><br \/>\n\ud83c\udfab FREE<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/UpThePaddock?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#UpThePaddock<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/2mo8W2hloU\">pic.twitter.com\/2mo8W2hloU<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Stretford Paddock FC (@SPaddockFC) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SPaddockFC\/status\/1659529661297164293?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 19, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The end of the season is almost here.
