Away tie in Cheshire Senior Cup

Altrincham have been drawn away to Sandbach United in the First Round of this season's Cheshire Senior Cup competition.

Sandbach United, who were formed in 2004, play in the North West Counties Football League First Division South and this will be the first meeting between the two clubs, although Altrincham and Sandbach Ramblers were both members of the Cheshire League from 1920-34, when Ramblers were relegated to the Mid-Cheshire League.

The last competitive meeting between Altrincham and Sandbach Ramblers was in The Cheshire Senior Cup in the 1971/72 season, with Ramblers causing a huge upset by defeating the Robins 2-1. Every cloud has a silver lining, though,  as the result paved the way for Roy Rees and Tony Sanders to take the helm to herald the start of two hugely successful decades at Moss Lane.

Sandbach Ramblers existed until 1996, meaning that there was no senior football in the town for eight years until United were formed, taking 'The Ramblers' as their nickname.

The match will be played on United's 4G pitch at The Sandbach Community Football Centre by November 5th and the full Cheshire Senior Cup First Round Draw is here:
