Winsford United - the Blues' General Manager Debbie Vernon has started a campaign to raise enough money to completely replace the clubhouse roof at the Barton Stadium.

The total cost will be in the region of £11,000, but not to be deterred, Debbie has started a series of Friday Prize Bingo Nights, and the first one was reported as being a tremendous success. There will also be other events throughout the summer including quiz nights and fun days.

Chadderton - the club's Under 18s team have reached the final of the Manchester County FA Youth Cup for Under 18 sides.  They beat Manchester Diamonds in the semi final, and will now face Curzon Ashton Under 18s in the final on Friday 22nd April at the Platt Lane Complex, kick off 6.30 pm.

Manager Colin Howell said: "I must say how proud I am of the lads for getting to the final in our first season as a team.  Most of the lads hadn't played together before, and most are all Under 17s, and can play in the competition again next season".

1874 Northwich - Matty Beadle added to his club goalscoring records for the Greens with his five goals in the 7-0 win at Padiham on Saturday 2nd April, becoming the first player to score five times in a competitive game for the club.

He was also the first 1874 player to score four goals in a cup game, in the FA Vase against Wigan Robin Park in 2014, which was also the first hat trick by an 1874 player on a cup game.

St Helens Town - Sam Sheen became the first Saints player to score a penalty this season, when he netted from the spot in the 55th minute of the 4-4 thriller against Ashton Town on Saturday. 

Padiham - the Storks have announced that Rob Moss has joined the club to take over responsibility for the match programme and club website.  Rob has undertaken the roles for other clubs in the past, most recently at Ramsbottom United.

Squires Gate - discounts are being offered on admission prices to Gate' sgame against Runcorn Linnets on 30th April to any season ticket holders at Blackpool FC, Fleetwood Town and AFC Fylde.  Anyone presenting a valid 2015-16 season ticket from one of those clubs on the day will be admitted for a discounted price of £4 (adults) and £2 (concessions).
