Congleton Town - a minute's silence was held before the home game with AFC Liverpool, in memory of former Town Chairman Terry Fleury, who passed away last Monday at the age of 72. Terry was Chairman at Booth Street in the 1980s, and was involved in the club in various ways over the last 30 years, mostly as a fan.
AFC Liverpool - Reds striker Ryan Cox notched up his fiftieth appearance for the club in the 3-0 home win over Bacup & Rossendale Borough. During his period at the club, he has enjoyed some excellent goalscoring, and currently leads the list of the Premier Division 's leading goalscorers with 15 goals.
AFC Liverpool manager Paul Moore said: "He's been a great addition to this football club, scoring a remarkable 35 goals, which is phenomenal. I think the kid's got a bright, bright future and from a selfish point of view I hope he has a long stay at AFC Liverpool, though hopefully he'll get that bit of luck and move to a higher league, because he will score goals wherever he plays".
Holker Old Boys - 34 year old striker Wayne Curtis has returned to Rakesmoor Lane, 16 years after leaving the club to progress his career.
Wayne played over 300 times for Morecambe, scoring 80 goals, and also had spells at Fleetwood Town and Kendal Town.
Wayne has now returned to the club he left in 1998, and Holker manager Gary Fawcett is delighted to have Wayne on board, albeit his availability may be affected by work commitments.
"It's a cracking signing", Gary said. "He signed a couple of weeks ago, and he is a player we have been monitoring".
Runcorn Town - the club are launching a brand new Ground Fund Lottery on Saturday 4th October to raise money to purchase their home ground at the Pavilions. Participants choose two numbers between 1 and 49 at a cost of £1, and winning numbers are the first ball and bonus ball on the main National Lottery draw every Saturday night.
Bacup & Rossendale Borough - visitors coming by car to the Brian Boys West View Stadium can now take advantage of new parking facilities. When turning into Cowtoot Lane to approach the ground, visitors can drive past the ground to the top of the road, and on the right hand side there is a gate at the entrance to a school car park, which can be used on match days.
Glossop North End - visitors to Surrey Street can ensure they don't miss out on their match day pie by reserving one in advance through a new Facebook page set up by the "Pie Fairies", who look after the tea bar and catering for spectators.
Facebook users should visit "The Pie Hut at Glossop North End AFC" and catch up on all the latest pie news and availability before getting to the ground, as well as giving feedback afterwards once the fare on offer has been sampled.
