Prestwich Heys prepare for a challenging NWCL Premier Division season with early fixtures against Burscough, Barnoldswick Town and Abbey Hey, aiming to build on last season’s strong finish. Pre-season has included a 4-0 win over Stockport Georgians and a narrow defeat to Northallerton. The team seeks to improve consistency and push for promotion under manager Ryan Hutchinson.

Prestwich Heys advanced their pre-season with three friendlies, beating Golcar United, losing to Atherton Collieries and defeating Hyde United with a late rally. Key performances came from Bryson Appleton, Luke Mann and Toby Green. The club continues preparations with upcoming fixtures and has drawn Handsworth in the FA Cup extra preliminary round.
