St Helens Town - As part of the club's regular website updates, a five part review of Town's epic 1987 FA Vase triumph has been added to the club website, written by Town Vice-Chairman and club historian Glyn Jones. It is available by clicking here.

Formby - Goalkeeper Josh O'Connell is the first Squirrels custodian to be awarded with a bottle of champagne by Squirrels fans for keeping three consecutive clean sheets. The Formby Champagne Club has been running since the start of season 2011-12, and any player who scores a hat trick or goalkeeper who keeps three clean sheets is presented with a bottle of bubbly.

Until now, no goalkeeper has been presented with a bottle, but Josh has broken the duck after firstly keeping out Northwich Flixton Villa and 1874 Northwich (in a game where he went off injured) and then completed the trio of clean sheets on his return from injury against Eccleshall a couple of weeks ago.
