Match Preview. South Liverpool (A). 26/7/25

Stockport Town look ahead to their first North West Counties Football League Premier Division fixture as they take on South Liverpool on Saturday at Jerico Lane

The Lions look to win in their first match of the season as they travel to Merseyside to face the South.

Town’s last match ended in a 3-0 loss against Northern Premier League West Division side Stalybridge Celtic. Three goals from Jordan Butterworth, Dylan Scott, and a well-placed free kick from Jack Irlam secured the win for the Tameside squad at Stockport Sport Village.

That loss would see Town’s pre-season come to a close with a record of three wins and two losses after five games.

These wins came against Cowlyn Bay, Chaddertonians AFC, and Denton Town. The last time the South and the Lions played each other, it ended in a 2-1 victory for Town at Jerico Lane, with the goals coming from Harley Monaghan and Callum Gardner.

The Opponents:

South Liverpool are in their second season in the NWCFL Premier Division after they achieved promotion during the 23/24 NWCFL Division One North. Last Season, the South narrowly survived relegation as they finished in 20th place with 41 points, just three places above the relegation zone and five points above relegated Colne FC.

The South’s pre-season saw them secure two wins, two draws, and suffer two defeats. The wins would come against Cammell Laird 1907 and Thackley AFC. Their last pre-season fixture would see them draw 1-1 at home against Ashville FC.
