Midweek Preview: 19th-20th August
Mon 19th August 2019 | Match Previews | By David Brindle
A packed midweek fixture list kicks off with four games across the three divisions on Monday evening.
Whitchurch Alport look to maintain their perfect early form when they welcome Brian Pritchard's Congleton Town who are still searching for their first win.
A win for Alport would put them three points clear at the summit until the other two sides in the top three play on Tuesday.
Winsford United saw off a late resurgence from Squires Gate in their last showing to win 5-4, and they host
Hanley Town after they recorded their second draw of the season on Saturday.
Just the one game in each of the North and South Divisions on Monday, with Garstang travelling to Daisy Hill in the North after both lost on Saturday.
Two teams desperate for their first league victory will clash in the First Division South, as New Mills make the trip to Lambeth Grove for their game against Stockport Town.
TUESDAY - FIRST DIVISION SOUTH
Tuesday will have eight fixtures in the South, with both league leaders at home.
Vauxhall Motors conceded a late equaliser against Ellesmere Rangers on Saturday but managed to find a winner to keep their 100% record alive.
St Martins are their visitors after they lost their first game of the season at home to Sandbach United.
FC Oswestry Town continued their scintillating form when they brushed Cheadle Town aside 5-1 to stay level on points at the top of the table.
They welcome Cammell Laird 1907 to The Venue after Lairds defeated Maine Road 4-1 for their second win of the season.
Cheadle Town, winless so far, face another tough game when they travel to another early-season in-form side in West Didsbury & Chorlton, who are unbeaten so far in their four league games.
Cheadle Heath Nomads are on the periphery of the promotion spots and know a win against Abbey Hey, who fell to West Dids on Saturday, will ramp up the pressure on the teams above them.
Stone Old Alleynians look to continue their unbeaten league run as they travel to Alsager Town who recorded a 0-0 draw with Wythenshawe Amateurs on Saturday.
Amateurs host Barnton, who lost 2-0 at home to Cheadle Heath Nomads on Saturday, with both teams within three points of the fourth promotion space in the division as it stands.
Wythenshawe Town recorded their first league victory on Saturday against Eccleshall and look to for back-to-back wins when they welcome Maine Road to Ericstan Park who lost to Cammell Laird in their last outing.
Sandbach United will want to continue on from their big win away at St Martins when they travel to an Abbey Hulton United side who beat Stockport Town 5-1 thanks to a Kieran Lazenby hat-trick last time.
TUESDAY - FIRST DIVISION NORTH
Five fixtures set for Tuesday evening in this division, with pressure on AFC Darwen - who didn't feature on Saturday - to claim three points and stay level with league-leaders Lower Breck.
They travel to Shelley who suffered their first league defeat of the campaign on Saturday to Prestwich Heys.
Heys, who by beating Shelley recorded their second win of the season, are away at Chadderton after they lost 2-1 at home to Holker Old Boys at the weekend.
Holker are away again after that victory and play AFC Blackpool, who beat AFC Liverpool 2-0 last time out.
Ashton Town played their part in a humdinger of a game when they beat Bacup Borough 5-3 at the weekend, and the second-placed side host Emley AFC who got their first away win as an NWCFL side on Saturday beating Daisy Hill.
Atherton LR will be chasing their second win of the season after they beat Steeton when they host Golcar United who put five past Garstang on Saturday.
TUESDAY - PREMIER DIVISION
The other two sides in the top three are in action on Tuesday in a four game slate of Premier Division fixtures.
1874 Northwich scored five without reply in their away game at Charnock Richard last time out, and they welcome an unbeaten Irlam side who drew their last game away at Burscough.
Burscough are the hosts as Rylands, who also scored five and conceded none in their last game, look to keep pace with the top three.
Bootle are still searching for their first league win of the season after a 2-0 away defeat at the hands of Runcorn Town, and they travel to Ashton Athletic who lost out 1-0 to Barnoldswick Town at the weekend.
Squires Gate's 90th minute double came too late in the day as they lost their third straight game to Winsford United.
They'll look to bounce back against Padiham who suffered a 4-1 defeat to Alport on Saturday.
