After Saturday’s games, every team now has their first points on the board

FC United lead the way with a 100% record, but face a tough trip to Ashton today

Plenty of clubs looking to kick on from here… you just can’t beat Non-League football on a Bank Holiday Monday ⚽

Massive signing for the Tigers!

Games like these early in the season can be real turning points — exactly what teams need to get off and running.

[The Tactical Recruit @TacticalRecruit]

Some big games today with Workington, Leek, Morpeth, Lancaster & Hebburn still searching for their first points. Leek host Morpeth & Lancaster take on Hebburn — meaning not all can get 3 points.

[The Tactical Recruit @TacticalRecruit]

With FC United not in action today, Hednesford will look to maintain their perfect start & make it 3 wins in 3 at home to Workington. Meanwhile, Workington, Leek, Morpeth, Lancaster & Hebburn are still chasing their first points of the season.

@joshb0507 True, the sending off did help , but it’s a positive sign your team took full advantage and got the win. Hopefully, you can build on and back it up with a win on Saturday then onto tougher matches ahead

Plenty of time to turn things around – but FC United & Hednesford have built a perfect platform. For those struggling, the pressure’s already creeping in… Thoughts on tonight’s games?

[The Tactical Recruit @TacticalRecruit]

After tonight’s games:
FC United & Hednesford = 100% starts ✅
Lancaster, Hebburn, Leek, Workington = 0 from 2 ❌
Morpeth = 0 from 1 ❌
Early split emerging with 2 perfect records & 6 sides yet to get off the mark.

[The Tactical Recruit @TacticalRecruit]

@joshb0507 Happy with that one lads?
Hopefully the start of something good and turning Nethermoor into a fortress this season

@WorkyHub Great give that a listen. Good to see Ellis score on debut but shame to see him come off with an injury.

[The Tactical Recruit @TacticalRecruit]

The NPL season kicked off this afternoon and had it all – a tense 0-0, red cards, some sides cruising to victory, and a late winning goal. If today’s anything to go by, we’re in for a lively season

[The Tactical Recruit @TacticalRecruit]

Something we don’t dream of… A game day breakdown 🤦‍♂️ Only took the first match for a delayed kick-off

[Whitby Town FC @WhitbyTownFC]

Borough Park 📍

Following our late arrival after a breakdown en route, kick off has been delayed until 3:30pm.
