NORTHWICH Victoria have waited 137 days to get back on the pitch.

With the lifting of coronavirus restrictions to allow for pre-season friendlies to take place, Steve Wilkes’ side took the chance with both hands on Saturday to continue preparations for the 2020-21 campaign.

They travelled to take on Bolton Lads Club and came away with a 2-1 victory, with Ryan Winder and Saul Henderson on the scoresheet.

Vics are in action again on Tuesday with a friendly at Middlewich Town to be played behind closed doors as per government guidelines.
