NWCFL Matchday Review 2019/20 #9
Sun 1st September 2019 | Match Reviews | By Craig Kendall
The weekend's action once again started on a Friday night for the NWCFL clubs as there was plenty of matches throughout the last 48 hours in the Buildbase FA Vase 1st Qualifying Round.
Unfortunately, though, on Friday evening First Division South side St Martins were defeated 3-0 by Shifnal Town.
However, plenty of sides made it through on Saturday, with 21 sides making it through to the FA Vase 2nd Qualifying Round.
The biggest winners of the day were undoubtedly Sandbach United. They ran out 13-0 winners against Wem Town, just two goals shy of the record 15-1 win by West Didsbury & Chorlton a few years ago. The game saw Thomas Powell bag five, Paul-John Hudson a hattrick, Will Goodwin netted a second-half brace and Aaron Knight, Thomas Williams and Matthew Pearson all netted one each on a superb afternoon for Andy Hockenhull's First Division South side.
Premier Division side Rylands were also big winners, beating managerless NCEL Premier Division side Athersley Recreation 6-0 - Jay White taking home the match ball with a trio of goals, whilst Freddie Potter netted a brace.
There were also wins for Abbey Hulton United who came from behind to beat Tipton Town 3-2. AFC Blackpool left it late for a narrow 2-1 victory against Redcar Athletic, whilst Ashton Athletic squeezed passed fellow NWCFL side AFC Darwen 3-2 - Adam Gilchrist grabbing a late winner, and Barnoldswick Town held on to defeat Whitley Bay 2-1-Zak Dale getting a brace.
Alsager Town held on to a 2-1 win away at Bewdley Town, whilst two further all-NWCFL ties saw Cheadle Heath Nomads come out on the right side of a 5-3 win against Ashton Town and Hanley Town edged Eccleshall after extra-time - Martin Stanyer with a 94th-minute winner.
Stockport Town defeated Step 7 side Harworth Colliery 3-1 - Kyle Foley bagging a double, whilst a Paul Turner treble saw Longridge Town beat Newcastle University 5-2.
A tough tie for Maine Road saw them overcome a stern test at home against NCEL Premier Division side Maltby Main 5-2.
Charnock Richard held on for a 3-2 win away at Cammell Laird 1907 who battled right to the end after they led at the break 2-1.
Skelmersdale United defeated First Division South side New Mills 5-2, Cheadle Town travelled to Inkersall Road and came back through to the next round after defeating Staveley MW 5-2 - the majority of the goals coming in the second half, whilst a Ben Holmes late brace from the penalty spot saw Vauxhall Motors them overcome NCEL Division One side Swallownest.
Wythenshawe Town saw themselves into the next round, coming from behind against Goole AFC - winning 5-2.
Pilkington had to wait until extra-time to defeat Atherton LR - as Callum Laird bagged his second of the match to settle the tie in the 95th minute.
In the late kick-off saw Matt Burton's FC Oswestry Town comfortably beat Bustleholme 6-0.
The final NWCFL winners were Padiham who saw a five-star win over Bedlington Terriers, Chadderton who defeated Parkgate 3-2 at Roundwood Park, and Prestwich Heys defeated fellow NWCFL-side 1874 Northwich narrowly 1-0 - a first half Justin Pickering finish settling the tie.
Unfortunately, the following sides bowed out of the competition, Avro lost 2-0 to Selby Town, Bacup Borough saw Grimsby Borough come from behind late on to snatch a 2-1 win, Garstang lost 2-1 to Sunderland West End, Winsford United were seconds away from extra-time but a late Gresley goal broke their hearts. And AFC Liverpool was defeated 4-1 by NCEL Division One side Nostell Miners Welfare.
Also, Holker Old Boys returned from Eastington Colliery having lost 4-1, Stone Old Alleynians spiritedly lost 3-1 away at Haughmond, Ellesmere Rangers lost 2-1 to Hinckley and Nelson were defeated after extra-time - 3-1 by Seaham Red Star. Whilst a 93rd minute Ollie Lawrence goal saw Retford United defeat Daisy Hill 3-2.
The action returns on Sunday afternoon with five further Buildbase FA Vase ties to feast on.
