Bacup began their preseason schedule with a trip to Mersey Valley, before away matches against Wythenshawe Amateurs and Tottington Saturday, United. Their latest game sees them take on West Lancashire Football League side Poulton, who will also be competing in their fourth friendly of the summer.

Poulton have already gone up against Wren Rovers, Garstand FC and Crooklands Casuals so far this summer.
