A fair summing up of the game at Crilly Park from the visiting FC Oswestry Town camp:
Great 1-0 victory today against @AthertonLRFC. Dug deep against some heavy pressure and came a way with 3 points. Effort wins matches! 👏👏👏👏

The attraction of the culinary delights in the clubhouse won the day momentarily over the on field action at Squires Gate:
54’ Sorry for the lack of updates I was eating a pasty (available from the clubhouse for £1.50). Still 1-0 to Gate here.

Falling temperatures at Yockings Park as the afternoon wore on evidently had an impact on those watching Whitchurch Alport's game against Cheadle Town:
You know that bloke who explored the Antarctic? There is no way in God's green earth that he was as cold as I am now. Not having it. No way.

.....although they could take their mind of the cold by trying to work out what was going on:
Current view - or lack of it - at the Park 0-0. At least I think it's 0-0. Might be 2-2 for all I know 😆 pic.twitter.com/5yNEYEftwD

Litherland REMYCA boss Phil Stafford was generous in defeat at Holker Old Boys:
