A late call-off has left Thornton Cleveleys with another headache in the North West Counties League. Their trip to Halewood Apollo was halted with about 15 minutes remaining while the Reds led 3-2. Jacob Gregory's two goals and one from Josh Winder will not stand if the match is replayed, and the club's list of fixtures to catch up on continues to grow.
Thornton Cleveleys have slipped to fifth after being overtaken by Fulwood Amateurs. Wednesday's hosts Woolton are tenth, though both sides have a handful of games in hand.
Woolton beat Steeton 2-1 away at the weekend, with Shea Curry and Ben Glover scoring either side of the break to claim a seventh league win of the season.
Thornton Cleveleys have won two of the three previous meetings. They won 5-0 in the Macron Cup, before Woolton won 2-1 in January 2026 and Jordan Beavers' early goal settled the latest encounter.
Manager Paul Gregory has Oliver Wilkinson and Dan Stoney back. "We know it is going to be very, very tough at Woolton. It's again coming to another Liverpool side, and they are always busy and always bang at it. They never stop and they have a great attitude towards football."
Kick-off at the Simpsons Sports Ground is 7.45pm.
