Leigh Genesis' pre-season campaign continues on Saturday when they travel to Ellesmere Port for a testing friendly fixture against Blue Square North outfit Vauxhall Motors.

Hosts Vauxhall Motors, who finished in twentieth position in last season's Blue Square North but were reprieved for relegation, have struggled so far in an admittedly tough pre-season schedule. They have suffered 3-0 and 4-0 defeats to a Blackburn Rovers XI and Wrexham respectively, with a 2-1 defeat at Leigh's Evo-Stik Division One North rivals Witton Albion being preceeded by Vauxhall's one win of the pre-season, a 1-0 home victory over North West Counties League side Formby, the previous club of Genesis boss Mark Maddox.

Leigh's last visit to Rivacre Park came in October 2007 when former Leigh boss Steve Bleasdale, who included Maddox in his Leigh side that day, began his second spell in charge of the club with a 2-2 draw with goals from Kieran Lugsden and Richard Chetcuti being cancelled out by Anthony Wright and a last minute equaliser from David Roberts.

Kick off is at 3pm at Rivacre Park, which is situated close to junction five on the M53.
