Widnes - Kevin Towey has now passed Ben Tollitt's record as Widnes's all-time leading goalscorer.
Tollitt netted 18 times at Widnes before signing a professional contract with Portsmouth in July 2015, and is currently on loan at National League side Tranmere Rovers, but Towey has wasted no time in breaking the record after moving from Barnton in the summer to the Select Security Stadium.
Towey has netted 23 goals in just 20 games, and is approaching double figures with assists in a remarkable start to his career at Widnes.
Daisy Hill - Daisy striker Daniel Gregory is planning his next fund raiser in aid of the Cystic Fibrosis Trust, which helps and supports families dealing with CF, and also funds the research into finding treatment for the disease.
Daniel has taken part in various events over the years to raise money for the charity, including a parachute jump, a bike ride from London to Amsterdam, and a marathon football tournament.
His involvement with the charity came about following the death of his niece Chloe Johnstone, who passed away as a result of Cystic Fibrosis when she was just 5 years old.
"The charity issues a list of events planned", said Daniel. "I'm just waiting to see what's coming up, and then I will decide which one to start training for".
Padiham - the Storks have organised their annual Sportsmans Dinner for Thursday November 24th. Once again the venue is the Centre Spot at Burnley FC, the guest speaker is Mickey Quinn, and the comedian is Paul Boardman. Tickets priced £30 are available from the club.
St Helens Town - an interested observer at Town's game against Cheadle Town last Thursday night was Scott Struthers, who was the club Secretary at Hamilton Academical FC for over 25 years, and is now a freelance football and team administrator and a UEFA and FIFA Match Delegate and Stadium Inspector.
Scott is also an avid ground hopper and has visited a number of grounds in our league over the years, and as he had been at the Wales v Greece Under 19 international at Wrexham earlier in the day, he dropped into Valerie Park to watch St Helens Town win 4-2 before heading back up the M6 to Scotland.
Ashton Town - the club are seeking a physio and a kit manager, and anyone interested should e-mail northernpromise@hotmail.com
West Riding County Cup - Silsden will host FC Halifax Town in the Third Round of the competition at the Angel Telecom Stadium on Wednesday 30th November, kick Off 7.45 pm. The tie was originally scheduled for The Shay, but FC Halifax Town agreed to switch the tie to Silsden's ground.
Cheshire Senior Cup - Winsford United will travel to face Stockport County in a rearranged First Round tie on Tuesday 10th January, kick off 7.45 pm. Winsford lost in the First Round against Macclesfield Town, but were re-instated into the competition after it emerged that Macclesfield played an ineligible player in the game.
