Sun 4th November 2018 | General | By Ian Templeman
Five clubs will represent the league in the Third Round of Buildbase FA Vase, although the identity of one of them has yet to be decided following the 2nd Round games at the weekend.
Three of the ties matched clubs from our league together, the first of those on Friday night when Runcorn Town won 3-1 at Vauxhall Motors.
A healthy crowd of 297 saw Simon Thelwell set Town on the road to victory with two first half goals and Harry Brazel added third early in the second half. Ben Holmes gave the Motormen something to take from the game with a consolation goal in the final minute.
On Saturday, two early goals from Kane Wallwork and Mike Stockdale set Avro on the way to a 2-1 win over Premier Division opponents in Squires Gate, and in the other First Division North v Premier Division tie, Prestwich Heys and Northwich Victoria failed to produce a goal after 120 minutes of play, and will replay in midweek.
In the other four ties, two of our sides progressed to the next round, but it was the end of the road for two others.
After a goalless first half, Irlam eventually won 3-1 at home to Hemsworth Miners Welfare, with Connor Martin, Connor Braithwaite and Liam Pollitt on target.
Silsden won by the same score at home to Bedlington Terriers, bouncing back from the loss of an early goal. Joe Gaughan scored twice in the space of four second half minutes to turn the tide in favour of the Cobbydalers.
However, last season's semi-finalists 1874 Northwich fell at the first hurdle this time around, going down 2-0 at Newcastle Benfield in their first tie of this season's competition, and Garstang were four goals down at half time to Sunderland RCA, eventually losing 6-2.
There were six games in the Premier Division, and City of Liverpool continue to set the pace at the top following their 3-0 win at home to Abbey Hey.
Craig Cairns, Jamie MacDonald and Luke Denson were on target for the Purps, who stay five points clear of Congleton Town in second place, who won 3-0 at Ashton Athletic on Friday night. Two late goals from Saul Henderson made the game safe for the Bears.
Ryan Cox, Steven Jones and Carl Peers all scored in Bootle's 3-0 win at Hanley Town that keeps them in fourth place, two points ahead of Barnoldswick Town, who beat West Didsbury & Chorlton 2-1 at home thanks to a double from Zack Dale.
In the derby clash at Victoria Park Carl Grimshaw's 79th minute goal seemed to have sealed the points for Charnock Richard at Burscough, but Yves Zama struck in the 90th minute to salvage a point for the home side.
Litherland REMYCA came from behind to earn a 2-1 win at Whitchurch Alport, thanks to goals from Ashton Clements and Jack Riley.
In the First Division North, Longridge Town extended their lead at the top of the table, winning 3-1 at Nelson, while nearest challengers Carlisle City were held to a 2-2 draw at Steeton.
Paul Turner struck a hat trick for Longridge, and Carlisle's hopes of matching their result were dashed by an 90th minute equaliser from Steeton's Alistair Morgan.
Shelley stay in fourth place after a 2-1 at AFC Blackpool that also involved a 90th minute goal, the winner from Emerson Bradshaw.
Lower Breck were the highest scorers of the day in the division, with Stephen Milne's hat trick being the highlight of their 5-0 win over AFC Darwen.
Anyone arriving late to the game between Bacup Borough and Daisy Hill would have had cause for regret as the score was 2-2 after 11 minutes although Borough eventually ran out 4-2 winners.
Daisy Hill remain just above the relegation zone, but are now just one point ahead of Holker Old Boys who won 1-0 at bottom club Atherton LR, thanks to a Nathan Reid goal in the 47th minute.
In the other game, AFC Liverpool won 2-1 at Chadderton.
The First Division South is still headed by Rylands, who won 3-0 at Eccleshall thanks to first half goals from Liam Moran, Gary Kenny and Jamie White.
Wythenshawe Amateurs are second after their 1-0 win at home to St Martins, Jordan Burton's goal proving to be decisive, and they are level on points with Abbey Hulton United whose 2-1 win at Cheadle Town was notable for the fact that all the goals arrived in the opening five minutes.
Wythenshawe Town's 7-1 win at Stone Dominoes was the eye catching score of the day, but even more remarkable was that seven different scorers shared the Town goals.
FC Oswestry Town continued their recent good form with a 2-0 win over Cheadle Heath Nomads, Liam Parry and David Howarth on target, and Sandbach United continued their climb up the table with a win by the same score at Maine Road, thanks to goals from Matthew Pearson and Aidan Haughton.
Ryan Malone and Samuel Houghton both scored twice in Barnton's 6-2 win at Cammell Laird 1907, and it was a red letter day for Ellesmere Rangers who picked up their first win of the season, and their first in our league, with a 1-0 win at Alsager Town, thanks to a goal in the 8th minute from Joseph Imlach.
In the other game New Mills won 3-1 at home to Stone Old Alleynians.
