“If we all put this sort of effort in every week we will improve our quality.

“It’s the biggest game of the season at Moulton. If they win they open up a big gap, but if we win it’s all there to play for again which would be a great effort after losing nine players from the quad squad!”

Netherton beat Moulton Harrox in all four meetings last season.
