030 – Reffin’ and Jeffin’

Five wins on the bounce and Whalley Range are top of the Cheshire Premier, but is a late winner against ten-man Middlewich a sign of champions or a warning? Meanwhile, last season’s Division One champions Daten are finding life at the top table rather less enjoyable.

In Division One, Northwich Victoria are making headlines for all the wrong reasons with their relentless criticism of referees, while Sandbach underline their promotion credentials with a stunning comeback.

Over in the GMWFL, some extraordinary scorelines highlight the gulf in quality across the division, and there’s a bit of needle developing between Paddock Women and Wilmslow.

Plus, your listener questions, another round of The 6 Pointer, and plenty to discuss after Paddock pick up six points from two away games.

A new season is almost here, and Season Three of the podcast gets underway.

Chris is joined by Stu and Liam to make their 2026/27 Cheshire League One predictions.

Who wins the league? Who finishes second? Who comes rock bottom? And what are our hot takes for the season ahead?

We also look at Skelmersdale Town’s flying start to life in the Cheshire Prem, discuss the new JA Walton Cup format and answer your listener questions.

Plus, we launch The 6 Pointer, our new prediction competition covering games from across the Cheshire League and GMWFL, with a season-long forfeit waiting for whoever finishes bottom.

Finally, we turn our attention to Paddock. What have we fixed over the summer, what are we still missing, and are we ready for the first league game?

Some of these predictions definitely won’t age well.
