Colne - Reds' leading scorer Danny Boyle scored a hat trick in his side's 3-1 win at Nelson, and it was a hat trick with a bit of a difference.
All three goals arrived as the result of a penalty, but only one spot kick was converted.
For the first goal, Blues keeper Ben Woodhead pushed away Danny Boyle’s penalty, but Boyle retrieved the loose ball and opened the scoring with a shot into the opposite top corner of the net.
Before half time it was 2-0, and an action replay of the first penalty, with Boyle‘s spot kick saved but he followed up to fire in the loose ball.
He rounded off his hat trick in more conventional circumstances, when Boyle opted for power with his spot kick which gave Woodhead no chance and completed a 3-1 win for the Reds.
West Didsbury & Chorlton – Callum Jones became the second West player this season to reach the milestone of 100 appearances for the club, following in the footsteps of Anthony Potts who achieved the feat before Christmas.
Callum, who has been at the club since 2010, was presented with a memento for the milestone by Chairman Glyn Meacher before the game against Alsager Town.
1874 Northwich – the club’s organised collections of food donations for the Mid-Cheshire Foodbank has produced a final total of 454 kilos of food. Collections took place on Saturday 21st February, when 359 kilos was collected, and subsequent donations has produced the final total.
Phil Burgess, who organised the event, said : ”It really was a tremendous effort, and many thanks to our supporters and players who turned up on a cold and wet afternoon to make their donations”.
Bacup & Rossendale Borough - the club have secured the services of on-loan FC Halifax Town striker Dominic Marie until the end of the season. Marie has scored seven goals in his short spell at the Brian Boys West View Stadium and is now joint top goal scorer this season with captain Adrian Bellamy.
Cammell Laird 1907 - Lairds have signed Kyle Scarisbrick on loan from Sheffield United. 19 year old Scarisbrick was formerly with Everton before joining the Yorkshire outfit.
"I'm delighted Kyle has joined us", said Blues boss Paul McNally. "He gives a range of options as he can play in a number of positions, and can give us a final push towards promotion and maybe the title".
Litherland REMYCA - the club have organised a Sportspersons' Evening on Friday 1st May at the College Suite at Marine Football Club in Crosby. Guest speakers are former Everton manager Howard Kendall, and former Liverpool striker David Fairclough.
Tickets for the event are priced at £25 and anyone inetrested should contact info@remyca.co.uk.
Nelson - the Admirals have launched a new App, to further expand their online communications.
Nelson Chief Executive Adam Keizer said: "The feedback I've had about the App is excellent, the look and feel of the App is real quality. I had been contacted by a lot of generic App companies, but there's nothing generic about Nelson FC, and so it was important that we had the App custom built.
Barnoldswick Town – there will be entertainment for the younger spectators who attend Barlick’s game against Nelson on Easter Monday, with an Easter Egg hunt before the game, and a half time penalty shoot out for children.
