The NWCFL football keeps coming as another set of fixtures kick-off on Monday evening and stretch through to Friday.

The opening game sees Whitchurch Alport have a chance to go level on points with league leaders Rylands when they welcome 17th place Burscough who are searching for their second league win of the season.

On to Tuesday and it is a replay in the FA Vase for Alsager Town and Abbey Hulton United after they drew 2-2 following 90 minutes and extra time on Saturday.

Irlam's FA Cup tie v York City is to be shown live on the BBC next weekend, but first, they host Skelmersdale United in league action with Skem losing their last game to Wythenshawe Town in the FA Vase.

Ellesmere Rangers host Abbey Hey after picking up their first point of the season in a 2-2 draw with Alsager Town a week ago.

Abbey Hey can climb to 5th with a win, a point behind 4th should Stone Old Alleynians lose away at Wythenshawe Amateurs.

Alleynians lost their first league game of the season last time against Vauxhall Motors, while their opponents Amateurs haven't won since a 1-0 win away at Abbey Hulton at the end of August.

Wednesday sees a Premier Division double-header with bottom side Litherland REMYCA, still looking for their first league win of the season, hosting Ashton Athletic following their majestic FA Vase victory over Liversedge on Saturday.

Runcorn Town lost 1-0 at home to West Didsbury & Chorlton in the FA Vase on Saturday and they'll look to return to winning ways when they welcome Charnock Richard. A Carl Grimshaw hat-trick helped them advance in the same competition after extra time away at Prestwich Heys.

A First Division North double is set for Thursday, with Lower Breck and Ashton Town - the top two in the division - going head to head. Breck have won their last five straight games, while Town have won three of their last six.

Bottom side Steeton - four points from their eight league games - are away at St Helens Town, with St Helens three points ahead of their opponents before kick-off.

The midweek action is wrapped up on Friday evening when Barnton clash with Abbey Hulton United. Barnton have won four games so far while Abbey Hulton have won six.
