Five things we learned - w/e Saturday 16th September 2017

Hot shot Reds
One team starting to gather some goalscoring momentum are AFC Liverpool, who continued their hot shot form with a 3-3 draw at Abbey Hey on Saturday.
After losing their opening three games, in the six games since the Reds are unbeaten, and in all but one of those games they have scored at least three goals.
Looks like new manager Chris Stammers is starting to assemble a side that will be a force to be reckoned with this season.
Bullets beginning to fire
One team starting to look like a formidable force in Division One this season are Alsager Town, who recorded their fifth successive win with a comfortable 7-1 defeat of Daisy Hill at New Sirs on Saturday.
The only league defeat so far this season for Wayne Brotherton's men has been away at runaway leaders Silsden, and with three out of the next four league games at home, it looks like once again the Bullets will be well and truly up among the leaders in the promotion pack.
Big wins for Remy
With last season's exciting promotion chase still fresh in the mind, and the main players from eth last campaign once again occupying the top eight, Litherland REMYCA's wins over their fellow contenders could prove to be decisive come the end of the season.
On Saturday', Remy leapfrogged over Whitchurch Alport into second place with a 1-0 win, following on from wins over Sandbach United and Prestwich Heys in the past few weeks.
There's plenty of football still be played, but it will be interesting to see how significant those results turn out to be, come the end of the season.
Away days mean goals for Town
One team who seem to be enjoying away days at the moment are Stockport Town, who kept up their fine run of form on the road with a 4-0 win at Nelson on Saturday.
That's now 16 goals in the last four away games for Dave Wild's men, and it seems the hospitality and facilities they are finding on their travels are agreeing with them at the moment.
Back to business for Heys
A few weeks back, we commented on the fire power being displayed by Prestwich Heys during August, when they scored 14 goals in the space of three games.
Heys then promptly lost their next three games, and only scored once, but it was back to business on Saturday down at Eccleshall, when they scored five times in a game for the third time this season, beating the hosts 5-3.
With the temporary blip apparently over, we will watch with interest to see if Heys continue to hit the back of the net regularly in the coming weeks.
