CHORLEY are back in National League North action this Saturday, hosting Leamington for the Magpies’ first game of 2026.

Leamington come into this game off the back of a 2-1 away defeat at Alfreton Town on Tuesday. The Brakes' long-standing manager, Paul Holleran, also resigned after 16-years this week.

Last Time Out

The Magpies made it three wins from their last four in midweek, beating Marine 2-1 on Tuesday night thanks to goals from Mike Calveley and Harry Ibbitson.

Opposition Focus

Leamington are currently bottom of National League North, with 14 points from 23 games.

Their last game in the league was a 2-1 away defeat away at fellow strugglers, Alfreton Town.

The Brakes' current top goalscorer is Ewan Williams (four)

Head-to-Head

Our last outing against Leamington ended in a late, 1-0 defeat at the Your Co-Op Community Stadium. The meeting on home soil last season was a 2-1 win in the Magpies' favour.
