Prestwich Heys - the club's website providers Pitchero have awarded the club Silver Status.

The award has been made on the basis that during 2016, the website was in the top 100 most visited sites for the whole year on the Pitchero network which hosts 7000 club sites.

There were 59,369 unique visits during the year with the highest number, 1,049, recorded being on the 2nd May when news broke of Heys being accepted into the North West Counties League. Already this year 18,221 unique visits have been made to the site.

1874 Northwich - supporters are being invited to vote on choosing a design for the club's first team kit next season.  A number of members have expressed a wish to see more emphasis on the Green/Black colour combination, and a selection of options can be viewed on the club website. 

Copies of the designs and a further chance to vote will be available at the final home game of the season this Saturday against Nelson.

Making progress - good to see that two players who recently moved from our league to Football League clubs are making their mark in the professional game. 

Jack Sowerby, who left Squires Gate to join Fleetwood Town a couple of years ago has made 12 appearances for Town this season, scoring twice and Ryan Wintle, who left Alsager Town to join Crewe Alexandra around the same time scored his first goal on his 17th appearance for Alex on Saturday, in the 3-0 home win over Leyton Orient.

Macron Cup final commentary - BBC Radio Lancashire have confirmed that they will be broadcasting live full match commentary on the Macron Cup Final between Barnoldswick Town and City of Liverpool on Tuesday 16th May. 

Commentary on the game at Fleetwood Town's Highbury Stadium will be available worldwide online, and potentially on some of the station's frequencies, although that has yet to be confirmed.  There will also be a Non-League Show broadcast live online and on all frequencies on the evening from the ground between 6 - 7 pm.
