NWCFL Matchday Review 2019/20 #18
Sun 6th October 2019 | Match Reviews | By Craig Kendall
Alongside the PlayerMatch.com Cup on Saturday afternoon there where a full programme of NWCFL top-flight action and one First Division North game to feast yourself on.
Longridge Town ended the weekend on top of the pile following their 5-0 away win at bottom side Litherland REMYCA. This was due to Rylands narrow and late 3-2 loss at the hands of improving Bootle with Cameron Dalton netting in injury time much to Joe Doran's delight.
Whitchurch Church also took advantage of Rylands loss as they moved up to second in the standings overcoming Barnoldswick Town - eventually winning 4-2 in front of a crowd of 157.
Avro and 1874 Northwich thrashed out a 1-1 draw however 1874 will feel as though it was a defeat as Avro equalised in the 90th minute. Charnock Richard is now 8th following their 2-1 win at Burscough.
Meanwhile, Congleton Town leap-frogged Runcorn Town with a 4-2 win, Northwich Victoria and Hanley Town both scored in the final three minutes but the game ended 1-1, leaving both sides mid-table, and a 74th minute Declan Gallagher goal secured a slender 1-0 win for Ashton Athletic against Padiham.
Irlam kept up the pressure on the top three sides as they defeated Squires Gate 5-1, whilst over at Skelmersdale United, Winsford United moved up several places after their 1-0 win.
In the First Division North, a very late 92nd minute James Bell secured all three points for Cleator Moor Celtic against a spirited Bacup Borough.
The action returns to the NWCFL on Monday evening with three matches, the first of three nights of games.
