Words on the week - w/e Saturday 27th October 2018

All looking up for Alport
One of the form teams in the Premier Division at the moment are Whitchurch Alport, who extended their unbeaten league run to eight games with a 3-2 win over Charnock Richard at Yockings Park on Saturday.
In manager Luke Goddard's 100th game in charge, two late goals from Arron Johns sealed the points for Alport and cemented their position as one of the form teams in the division at the moment.
The run of form that saw five defeats in six games in late August and early September is very much a distant memory now, and from a comfortable 7th place position, the foundations are very much place for Alport to push on further.
Ashley's back in the groove
One player who made an immediate impact on his return to familiar territory is Daisy Hill's Ashley Stott.
After a high scoring first spell a couple of seasons ago, Ashley returned to New Sirs just over a week ago, and in the three games since then, has scored all six of Daisy Hill's goals, including both in the club's 2-0 win over Garstang on Saturday, their first league win of the season.
With points desperately needed to move clear of the First Division North relegation zone, everyone at New Sirs will be hoping that Ashley can keep up the good work to help propel the team up the table.
Town shining brightly
It was a notable week for Wythenshawe Town, with the floodlights at Erictsan Park used in a night match for the first time on Thursday night, when Town beat Stockport Town 2-1.
The week was rounded off nicely on Saturday with another victory on home soil, 3-1 against Vauxhall Motors, that moved them up the table into sixth place, just six points behind leaders Rylands.
With progress being made on and off the field, the future looks bright for Town.
Six of the best from Chadderton
With seven defeats in the last nine games, and no home league wins since early September, Chadderton's 6-1 win over Cleator Moor Celtic turned the form book upside down.
It was all the more impressive given that Celtic came into the game on the back of two good wins, against Winsford United in the Macron Cup and away to Steeton in midweek.
Now, with the biggest win of the season under their belts, manager David Fish will be looking for more of the same in the coming weeks.
A good day's work for Jay
On the field this season, Jay Hart of Longridge Town has played a key role in his side's ascent to the top of the table, scoring 13 goals in 17 games so far this season.
However, although he was injured on Saturday and unable to play in Town's 5-1 win over St Helens Town, the striker still turned in a good shift at the Mike Riding Ground, by selling two football cards to raise funds before serving a stint behind the bar.
In an era where a player's loyalty to a club can often be questioned, Jay's efforts on Saturday on behalf of his club are refreshing to hear about, and were clearly much appreciated by everyone at Town, with the club's Twitter feed putting out the message: "Some lads are suited to play for a Club, this lad is one of them".
