The first game in March saw them host Euxton Villa on a Sunday morning as part of the NWCFL Groundhop. They took the lead through Joe Bacon after just five minutes with Abiola Obasoto adding the second on 73 minutes.
A week later they travelled to FC Isle of Man and got off to the perfect start with Edward Jones and Thomas Romano putting LR two goals ahead after just seven minutes. Romano added a another on 15 minutes before Kyle Watson pulled one back from the spot midway through an action packed first half.

Midweek saw City of Liverpool visit with the game goalless after an hour. Quickfire goals from Cal Hunter and Thomas Romano put LR two goals ahead before Owen Cushion sealed the points late on in a 3-0 win. The good home form continued next with a 4-0 win over Pilkington.

That result brought to an end a run of 11 successive victories for LR, but they bounced back in their next game with a 3-1 win at Stockport Town. Joe Bacon opened the scoring on eight minutes with Thomas Romano extending his run of scoring with the second in the 82nd minute. With a minute of normal time remaining, Harvey Sample made it three with Samuel Adegoke scoring a consoltation in stoppage time.
A tricky looking Tuesday night trip to Euxton Villa was next, but the confidence in this LR team is sky high right now and they waltzed to a 5-0 victory. Dave Moore opened the scoring on six minutes before a quick fire double just before the break from Lance Houghton and Jack Wright made it three at the break.
