More FA Vase success for 1874 Northwich
No one could argue that the headline story from the past week was 1874 Northwich's 1-0 victory over Chichester City in the Buildbase FA Vase on Saturday.
The Greens seem pretty much unstoppable at the minute, and are the latest club in an impressive list who have represented the league superbly in national competitions.
Another big day awaits them on Saturday 24th February in the quarter finals and once again, they will have the full support of everyone around our league as they target the last four.
Looking good for Linnets
It was another good week for Runcorn Linnets, who continued their march ahead at the top of the Premier Division table with a 3-1 win at Barnton.
A few defeats in various cup competitions in the past couple of months might mask the fact that Friday's win was their 11th successive league win, form that has seen them establish a ten point lead at the top of the table.
It's looking like it will take a good team to catch them.
A winning feeling for Alport
Another team that have well and truly got the winning habit right now are Whitchurch Alport, who continued their promotion push with a 1-0 win at Stockport Town on Saturday.
Ten league wins in a row with only five goals conceded is super form by any standard, and it's a run that has propelled Luke Goddard's men to within a point of the automatic promotion positions.
With memories of a minor mid-season blip now banished, the challenge for Alport now is to keep motoring at the same pace in the coming weeks.
Carl just keeps on going
Three weeks ago on these pages, we made mention of the tremendous run of form that Charnock Richard striker Carl Grimshaw was enjoying, and three weeks on, there's no sign of the goals drying up.
He's now scored ten goals across seven consecutive games, and has hit the back of the net in 16 of Charnock's last 17 games.
Thee can't be many strikers in the country that are more prolific than Carl at the moment.
Bacup bounce back
One of the most welcomed victories of the week will have been in the Bacup Borough dressing room last Tuesday night, after their 3-1 victory over Atherton LR at Crilly Park.
The result ended a run of seven straight defeats, and nine in the last ten games, so it was a long overdue three points.
Manager Brent Peters will be hoping that their season will kick on from here, now that the winning feeling has returned.
