Weekend Round Up - Saturday 8th October 2016
Sun 9th October 2016 | General | By Ian Templeman
Games in the Reusch First Division Cup 1st Round and both divisions provided a tempting bill of fare for those of a Hallmark Security League persuasion at the weekend.
In the Reusch cup ties, highest scorers of the day were Stockport Town, for whom six different players got on the scoresheet in the 7-1 win at Eccleshall.
Two other ties were also won by the away teams, with manager James Tose getting the winner for Carlisle City in the 3-2 win at AFC Blackpool, and an extra time winner eased Chadderton to a 2-1 win at Bacup Borough, after the teams were tied at 1-1 after 90 minutes.
In the other two cup games played on Saturday, two goals from Craig Redhead helped Holker Old Boys to a 4-1 win at home to Ashton Town, and first half goals from Ashley Reece and Carl Fitton clinched a 2-1 win for Prestwich Heys over Litherland REMYCA at Adie Moran Park.
On Sunday Widnes had to concede home advantage to FC Oswestry Town, but the trip to the Venuw proved to be a fruitful one for Joey Dunn's side, with a first half hat trick from Chris Lomax setting them on the way to an eventual 4-1 win.
In the Premier Division, 1874 Northwich kept up the pace at the top with a 2-0 win over Abbey Hey, thanks to secodn half goals from Scott McGowan and Tom Bailey.
Atherton Collieries stay second after another impressive display of firepower, five different scorers hitting the back of the net in the 5-0 win at New Mills.
Runcorn Town are third after a 4-0 win over Winsford United at the Pavilions, leading scorer Craig Cairns celebrating his September player of the month award with another two goals.
Town's neighbours Runcorn Linnets are tucked in two points behind them after a 2-0 win at Maine Road, Kyle Hamid and Daniel McKenna on targert in the opening half hour.
A Kieran Halligan goal six minutes from time earned Bootle a 2-1 win at Barnoldswick Town to keep them in 5th place, and Hanley Town continued their recent good form with a 4-2 win at home to Squires Gate, Dan Cope scoring a hat trick for Town.
There were hat tricks in two other Premier Division games, with Isaac Kusaloka scoring his second treble of the season in Ashton Athletic's 6-2 win against Congleton Town, and Padiham's Alex Murphy also struck three in the 6-1 win at Barnton.
Elsewhere, AFC Darwen and Cammell Laird 1907 shared a goalless draw, Connor Wright scored the only goal of the game for AFC Liverpool at Nelson, and on Friday night a last minute from Steve Mills earned Irlam a 2-1 win at West Didsbury & Chorlton,
In the First Division, five of the top six were in league action, and City of Liverpool remain on top after a 2-2 draw at home to Daisy Hill. The Purples were two down with nine minutes remaining, but goals from Declan Gregson and Joseph Camozzi salvaged a point to keep them on top of the table on goal difference from Charnock Richard, who beat Cheadle Town 6-1 with six different players sharing their goals.
Whitchurch Alport are in third place, a penalty from Mike Blundell earning them a 1-0 win at Atherton LR, and Alsager Town are fourth after a 3-1 home win over St Helens Town, in which Mark Grice scored twice for the Bullets.
Sandbach United are in the final play off place after their 2-0 defeat of Silsden, Josh Lane scoring both goals for the home side.
