Isle rivals all set to clash for the third time
Having met in the Johnsons Transport Ironstone Cup in September, with Westwoodside coming out on top of a nine-goal thriller, 6-3, and with Town winning 3-0 in the league meeting a month later, the scene is set for this weekend’s clash in the Ironstone Cup return fixture.
Epworth player/manager Tom Appleby is hoping his side’s 7-1 win at the weekend against Midtown United - their eighth win out of eight in the league so far this season - will prepare his side for this weekend’s clash.
“It was a great result on Saturday,” said Appleby.

“Our goalkeeper Chris Stanley’s clean sheet was only wiped away due to a defensive lapse. Other than that, it was a good solid win which we needed ahead of a massive local derby at Westwoodside on Saturday.”
Westwoodside are also in impressive form with a current four match unbeaten streak in all competitions.
