A big thanks to the League volunteers who camped out at Lymm Services while we waited on scores so we could get the trophies to the right location. Only 2 of the 4 presented but it allowed teams to celebrate on the day. If you are accusing us of being corrupt-this is the reality

FA Vase following a 3-1 victory after extra time over Sholing.
We are extremely saddened at the passing of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II.
The Directors and Management Committee of The North West Counties Football League offer our sincere condolences to the Royal Family at this sad time.
We have checked the archives and Elliott Nevitt's is the first FA Vase hattrick since Doug Young scored three for Billericay Town in 1979 against Almondsbury Greenway.
Its the first hattrick at Wembley since Harry Kane's treble for England against Montenegro in Nov 2019.

Statement from The NWCFL Management Committee
Following a meeting of the Management Committee of The North West Counties Football League this evening, the decision has been made to suspend the restart of the League season until 19th December.
We understand the disappointment, frustration and everything else that comes with the decision made this afternoon.
But please understand that there's a lot more important things going on, so please be kind to each other.

We all gave our afternoon up for the benefit of our clubs without seeing a game. We do so in our own time and at our own costs. Thank you to all volunteers in the League as it is easy to be critical when you haven't got a clue about the hard work that goes on behind the scenes.
