@ashtontownfc 0 - 1 @RuncornLinnets

A bit of magic by Runcorn midfielder, best a man or two, and then beat keeper. Good goal was the difference.

Many subs second half, spoiled the flow a bit.

Ashton- promotion challenge I expect

Runcorn - hard to tell

@ashtontownfc 0 -0 @RuncornLinnets

Good equal half of football. Ashton the better team, Linnets the better players / more skillful.

Neither team creates many chances. Ashton more possession, but in own half, Runcorn more skillful and playing opposing half!

Ground developments since last time

Fence around 1 side and framework for one end

Entrance hut constructed

Obviously more to come - but good progress being made

@afc_knowsley @AFCLiverpool Full time

@afc_knowsley 2 - 3 @AFCLiverpool

A goal for each team in the 2nd half, but probably Knowsley better team in 2nd half.

L'pool much improved on last week. Knowsley will do ok in nwcfl division 1, might cause a few problems too

Will be back once ground finished!

[Neil Badger @ScouseBigears]

Half time

@afc_knowsley 1-2 @AFCLiverpool

Two well taken goals, one could be deemed keepers fault, took L'pool into a deserved lead. A deflected free kick gave Knowsley a route back into game

L'pool better team, and more skillful team, but Knowsley definitely not out of it

@maghullfc 3 - 0 @AFCLiverpool

Maghull created chances in 2nd half, and took them clinically.

AFC didn't really create much, a few shots well wide.

Good run out for both teams, expect Maghull to be up there again. AFC - a season of rebuilding I think

Half time

@maghullfc v @AFCLiverpool

Maghull had slightly more of the chances and possession.

But traditional pre season game, lots of huff and puff.

But nice evening to watch a competitive game of football.
