The league have a formula to work out our Club of the Month based on whether games were home and away and the quality of the opposition. Last months winners were are as follows:
Premier Division - Chadderton
Winning the Premier Division award for Jul/August 2025 is Chadderton.
Chaddy played eight games in the month and a bit period, winning seven of them and losing one as they made a terrific start to the league and progressed in the Emirates FA Cup. They played four home games and four on the road, including a win against a team from a higher division in the FA Cup.
They started the season with a 1-0 home win against Charnock Richard courtesey of a Benito Lowe goal. The first midweek they travelled to Wythenshawe where they lost 3-1, with Lewis-Simon Byrne getting their only goal of the game from the penalty spot seconds before half time.
They bounced back with progress in the Emirates FA Cup, where despite falling behind to Stockport Town, they came back and won 2-1 with goals from Matthew Crothers and Byrne.
Byrne was amongst the goals in the next game where he netted a hat-trick in a 7-2 win over South Liverpool. Lowe added two more to his account with Matthew Barlow and Adam Dale both getting off the mark for the season.
They then travelled to Barnoldswick Town and won 6-0, Byrne with two, Lowe, Crothers and Dale with one and Daniel McLaughlin getting the other. Further progress came next in the FA Cup with Adam Dale scoring the only goal in a 1-0 win at Irlam.
Byrne then took his tally to nine for the season in a 4-1 win at home to FC St Helens, Barlow and Ryan Shenton getting the others. And they then finished the month with a 3-1 away win at Northern Premier League side Bishop Auckland, Byrne taking his tally to 11 for the season already with two of the goals, Barlow with the other.
Those results gave Chaddy 26 points towards the Club of the Month calculation from their 8 games for a 3.25 average.
The closest challengers were Atherton LR, who also two wins against Northern Premier League sides in the FA Cup, and Padiham, who had a fine start and top the Premier Division table at the end of the month.
Total Games played in the Month: 8
Total Points won in the Month: 26
Average: 3.25
First Division North - Maghull
Club of the Month in the First Division North is Maghull, who have won the award for the first time since returning to the NWCFL at the start of last season.
Maghull sit proudly at the top of the league at the end of August. After drawing their first game of the season, they have romped to victory in the next five games, including an impressive away win at a side from a higher league in the Isuzu FA Vase. They scored a whopping 21 goals so far and conceded nine.
They started the season by coming from 2-0 down at home to Squires Gate to draw 2-2, the equaliser from Nathan Peet coming in stoppage time after Wil Hoey had pulled one back. The following week saw a superb performance at home to Droylsden where they were 4-0 up after an hour, that game eventually finishing 4-3. Peet scored twice more with Sam Smith and Darren Brannigan also on target.
A first win on the road then came at AFC Blackpool, falling behind before Harrison Worden and Nathan Moffitt turned things around. A 5-1 thumping of last seasons runners up Nelson was next, with all five goals for Maghull coming in little over half an hour. Smith scored twice, with Brannigan, Jacob Till and Nathan Moffitt getting the others.
Perhaps the performance of the month came next at Frickley Athletic in the Vase, one division higher in the pyramid in the Northern Counties East Premier Division. Smith gave them an early lead with Brannigan adding a second just after the break. Worden then scored a penalty before another Smith goal and an own goal made it five. Frickley scored a consolation with a few minutes remaining.
The final game was at Steeton, with a Smith brace putting them two goals ahead in the first half. The home side pulled one back before Moffitt secured the win with their third goal eight minutes into stoppage time.
That gave them 21 points from their 6 games for a 3.50 average.
Droylsden had a good month with four wins and two losses, with Fulwood Amateurs also starting well in their first NWCFL season.
Total Games played in the Month: 6
Total Points won in the Month: 21
Average: 3.50
First Division South - Stafford Town
The winner of the Club of the Month in the First Division South are Stafford Town. After a disappointing end to last season, they have started superbly, winning all five league games plus progression in the Isuzu FA Vase against a higher placed team. They scored 14 goals with just two goals conceded.
They started the month with a 2-0 home win over Eccleshall, Matthew Hearsey scoring twice, before winning by the same scoreline at home to Wolverhampton Sporting Community, Taylor Draper and Hearsey scoring. A 4-1 away win then came at Cammell Laird 1907, with Lairds taking an early lead. Hearsey levelled midway through the first half, before a James May double put them firmly in control. Mitchell Glover rounded off the scoring in stoppage time.
Another 4-1 win was next, this time at home to Barnton. May put them ahead with Barnton quickly levelling from the penalty spot. However a Hearsey hat-trick in the second half secured another win. It was the FA Vase next, with Midland League Premier Division side Tividale the visitors to Stafford. In a close game, Stafford won 1-0 with Hearsey the only scorer.
The sixth and final game of the month saw them travel to Allscott Heath. Again this finished 1-0 with Hearsey again on target with his ninh goal of the season.
That gave them 22 points from their 6 games for a 3.67 average.
Closest to them was Runcorn Town, who won five of their six games to start the season well. Newcomers Telford Town also won five and drew one of their six league games, but lost points due to their FA Vase exit.

Total Points won in the Month: 22
