“We managed to get a friendly in on Saturday against Guilsfield which was a good run out for everyone.”
However the Swans expect a tough afternoon in Staffordshire as they strive to maintain their pursuit of the league leaders Stockport Town and Wythenshawe Amateurs.
The spokesman added: “Eccleshall are normally a good outfit and always give us a good game. It’s a tough place to go.
“They have a decent set up there and the pitch is in good condition so hopefully we can get the ball down and play and come back with the three points.”
