I suspect I have the access to the most information from this era. Sadly I am old enough to have watched most of the matches in this season when we won the Lancashire Combination for the last time ( before transfering to the new Cheshire League Div 2).
In this season we defeated Gt. Harwood ( then in the NPL) in the 1/4 final of the LFA Cup ( now the united co-op trophy) before losing to Wigan 3-4 in the semi final. This was Wigan's last season before election to the Football League 4th Division.

We also played Blackburn Rovers 1st team (part of the David Hargreaves transfer deal ( 2K in think) and drew 3-3 in front of a crowd of 900)

The only way to get information from this era is from the archieved records at Accy libarary ( via the Accy Observer)

I have in my collection 25 home programmes and the Gt. Harwood and Wigan away programmes.

May I ask why you are interested in this season??
