Charnock Richard may want to forget their 150th league game as they went down 5-0 at 1874 Northwich. Congleton Town’s defeat at Skelmersdale on Tuesday night was their 350th in 964 games (36%). 

Josh Dysons’ 20th minute goal for Shelley, their second of the game, in their 4-1 win at home to Pilkington was their 100th league goal.

Goal scoring heroes this week:

No hat-trick heroes in the last seven days, but several with a brace: Scott McGowan (1874 Northwich), Kieran Holsgove (Runcorn Town), Fraser Beckett (Golcar Utd), Laquan Esdaille (Bacup Borough), Jamie Henders (Lower Breck), Harry Bower (FC Oswestry Town), Michael Burkey (Vauxhall Motors).

Mid-week Braces: Alex Hughes (Whitchurch Alport), Adam Gilchrist (Ashton Athletic) – both in league games and Karl Cassell (Irlam) in the Manchester Premier Cup.

In The Prem on Saturday the earliest goal didn’t come until Dean Ing scored for Squires Gate against Skelmersdale in the 19th minute. Liam Crellin-Myers (Wythenshawe Town) became the 43rd player to score in the opening two minutes across all three divisions.
