Warrington Town Football Club faces a demanding schedule this Easter weekend, with two matches in three days that will see the team travel to Ilkeston Town before hosting a local derby against Warrington Rylands.

The first game takes place on Saturday 4 April 2026, with an away fixture against Ilkeston Town at the New Manor Ground. The action continues on Easter Monday 6 April 2026, when the club returns to the Cal.Delivery Stadium for a highly anticipated derby match against Warrington Rylands. Both matches are scheduled for 3pm kickoffs.

Currently sitting 18th in the 22-team Northern Premier League Premier Division, Warrington Town is looking to recover following a 2-0 defeat to Whitby Town on 28 March 2026. Manager Paul Carden has indicated he will rotate his squad to manage the quick turnaround between the two fixtures, noting that there are no fresh injury concerns heading into the weekend.

The home clash against Rylands carries added significance as the visitors currently sit 10 points clear of Town in the league table and remain in contention for a play-off spot. Fans wishing to attend the derby can purchase tickets online at a rate of £13 for adults, £9 for concessions, and £3 for those under 16, plus a £1 booking fee. Tickets are also available at the turnstiles for £15 for adults and £10 for concessions, with segregation in operation at the ground.

The club recently secured a boost in its squad following the announcement that 21-year-old attacking midfielder Reece Daly has signed a new two-year deal. Daly, who joined the club in 2025 and is currently the top scorer with nine goals, has expressed his commitment to the team’s future, stating that the squad needs to be pushing for promotion next season as a minimum.
