AFC Liverpool
The Gaffer Good afternoon and welcome to The Royal British Legion Stadium for this afternoons league clash against AFC Liverpool. First all may I welcome AFC Liverpool’s management team and all associated with the club. I hope you feel welcomed and have a safe journey home. Today will be the 4th time we’ll have met AFC Liverpool this season and so far the previous 3 encounters have all been entertaining ones. Both sides were involved in cup fixtures midweek with ourselves putting in a below par performance against Glossop but Liverpool having a fantastic win against neighbours Bootle. We will be looking to bounce back from Tuesday’s result with a positive performance. We have 12 games left this season and we are wanting to finish as strong as possible so that we finish as high as possible in the league. We’ve got lots of points to play for and some really entertaining fixtures ahead that everyone should be looking forward to. We know from our previous encounters that AFC Liverpool are one of the best footballing sides in this division and a team who I have plenty of respect for. They play very attractive football and are one of the best passing sides I have seen in a long time at this level of football. I hope you enjoy the game and visit us again for our next home fixture…. UP THE GATE!!!!!
NEXT HOME GAME In our next home game at The Royal British Legion Stadium, we host the league leaders in the first meeting between the two sides this season. So make sure you come down for this top of the table clash, which should be a very entertaining game. Can you think of a better way to spend a Saturday?

BACUP & ROSSENDALE 0 GATE TAKE ALL THREE POINTS FROM BATTLING BACUP
Squires Gate hosted Bacup & Rossendale Borough on Saturday afternoon, looking to bounce back from their loss to Glossop two weeks ago. Gate came into the game on the back of a week's rest after their away tie at Abbey Hey fell foul of the weather last Saturday. Gate made one change to the team that lost vs Glossop with Billy McKenna starting in place of Sean Holmes, who dropped to the bench. It was Bacup who made the better start to the game, the team bottom of the league looked on top early on, It took Gate a good ten minutes to get into the game after looking sloppy and lack lustre early on. Gate's first chance fell when Billy McKenna made a clever run to get in behind and was found by Harry Dunn, but Mckenna's shot was poor and straight at the goal keeper. Gate's next chances was a carbon copy of the first but this time nobody could get on the end of Alex McKendrick's cross back into the box. Bacup had a golden chance to open the scoring shortly after, a quick freekick catching Gate napping but keeper Ben Fletcher came to the rescue showing quick reflexes to keep the game level. Bacup fought in the game though and didn't look like a relegation threatened team. They made it very hard for Gate to play and had their own chances to win the game. Harry Dunn had the last chance of the first half. From the goal kick he took the ball down on his chest before shooting first time but his shot went over the bar.
Half Time: Squires Gate 0-0 Bacup & Rossendale Borough.
The second half provided a change of fortunes for Gate, clearly the half time team talk worked, motivating and encouraging Gate to improve in the second half. Gate pilled on the pressure and it took until the 55th minute for them to open the scoring. Billy McKenna with a tame shot which somehow snuck in at the near post, Bacup's goalkeeper will have to take the blame for this one, he seemingly thought the ball was going wide only to see it sneak past the post. Gate showed incredible patience and concentration after going one up and showed how to defend a lead. Bacup had several chances to find an equaliser but a combination of poor finishing and good defending from the home teams defence allowed Gate to maintain their lead. Gate also had their chances many of which saw them in 3 vs. 2 situations. But Gate's front three of Buchan, Murphy and Dunn didn't have their scoring boots on and struggled to finish easy chances. Gate's second of the game would come from two of their substitutes Robbie Bromley finding the ball on the left hand side before driving forward at the Bacup defence. His ball across the box found fellow sub Brett Ferguson who's scuffed shot found its way into the bottom corner. The 2-0 win makes it 13 clean sheets for Gate and gets them back on what is hopefully a winning run.
After the game Gate manager Dave McCann said: It was a very pleasing result. We weren't at our best especially in the first 15 minutes but we eventually worked our way into the game and got the result we deserved. Bacup caused us problems and could have had a couple of goals if their finishing was better but I can say the same about us, we could have been more clinical in front of goal. Games like today are never easy but overall I was more than happy with the 3 points today. Report by Mark Ashmore Pictures by Albert Cooper / Steve McLellan

SO NEAR BUT YET SO FAR AS GATE CRASH OUT THE CUP Squires Gates hopes of cup success were crushed at the hands of Glossop North End after a second half mauling. Gate made one change to the team with Robbie Bromley starting up front in place of Mark Buchan. Gate had the weekend off with no game this weekend. Glossop on the other hand faced Dunston in the cup. The game went to extra time after normal time ended 2-2. It was the home side who had the first chance of the game the ball slipping under Danny Penswicks foot before Ben Fletcher rescued his keeper in the one on one situation. It was a frustrating first half for Gate who found themselves in all the right places but looked for the pass instead of getting the shot away. There wasn't much difference between the two sides with both having chances to break the deadlock. Harry Dunn turned provider on the half hour but his ball across the box couldn't find a Gate man. Gate struggled to clear the ball towards the end of the first half and Sam Grimshaw found himself through on goal to open the scoring. Gate will have been disappointed to have conceded in the manner they did having matched there hosts up until that point. HALF TIME Glossop 1-0 Squires Gate
It would be fair to say that Gate collapsed in the second half and came out looking a completely different team. More poor defending allowed Jason Carey to tap in at the back post after the ball was fired across the middle of the box. Gate made it even more difficult for them selves soon after, Danny Penswick judged to have bought the last man down inside the box, the result being a Picture by Albert Cooper sending off and a penalty to the home side. Jason Carey stepped up from the spot to put the home side 3-0 up and looking comfortable. Glossop had a couple of chances late on but Fletcher kept the score line respectable. The game ended 3-0 to the home side and sees them through to the semi finals. This result is a disappointing one for Gate but allows them to concentrate back on the league. There next game comes at home to AFC Liverpool on Saturday.

NWCFL NEWSLETTER The weekend saw our clubs in both cup and league action, and not surprisingly the season's biggest crowd of 651 turned up at Surrey Street, for the FA Carlsberg Vase 5th Round tie between Glossop North End and Dunston UTS. The game ended tied at 2-2 after extra time, with Jason Carey and Tom Bailey on target for the Hillmen, who now face a trip up to Gateshead for the replay next Saturday. Six clubs were also in action in The Men United Cup Quarter Finals, with the away side emerging victorious on each occasion while at the same time keeping a clean sheet. Two goals from Josh Hamilton and one from Kieran Carraghan saw Bootle through to a 3 -0 win at West Didsbury & Chorlton, and the other two games both ended 2-0. Extra time goals from Chris Thomson and Mark Keddie ensured victory for Runcorn Town at AFC Liverpool, and after a Mark Ayres goal gave Atherton Collieries the lead on the hour, an own goal sealed a first ever win for Cols at Colne. In the Premier Division, with Glossop in FA Vase action, Runcorn Linnets extended their lead at the top of the table to 18 points with a 2-0 win over Silsden, Freddie Potter and Michael White on target in the opening 21 minutes. Ashton Athletic remain in third place after a 1-1 draw at home to fourth placed 1874 Northwich. Michael Brandon gave 1874 the lead with 20 minutes to go, but Isaac Kusaloska grabbed a last gasp equaliser for the Yellows. Congleton Town were the day's highest scorers, with five different players getting on the scoresheet in a 6-2 win at home to Maine Road A first half goal from Danny Egan gave Winsford United a 1-0 win over Nelson, Abbey Hey pulled further away from the relegation zone with a 3-0 win at Alsager Town, and at the bottom end of the table, there were welcome wins for Barnoldswick Town and Bacup & Rossendale Borough. A hat trick from Thomas Henderson was the highlight of Barlick's 4-1 win over St Helens Town, and two goals from Dom Marie gave Bacup & Rossendale Borough a very wel-
STOCKPORT SPORTS The League Management Committee can now issue a further statement with regard to Stockport Sports. The Club has failed to fulfil fixtures on three separate occasions this season, which is in breach of League Rule 8.6 which states: “Any Club without just cause, failing to fulfil an engagement to play a Competition match on the appointed date shall for each offence be liable to expulsion from the Competition and/or such other disciplinary action the Board may determine". The Club have also failed to comply with League Rule 2.3.1 by failing to comply with the Management Committee instructions regarding confirmed notification of venues for their remaining home fixtures by the 24th January 2015 deadline. The Club had been notified of the implementation of League Rule 4.6, whereby they would not be allowed to play or take part in the competition until the expiry of 7 days from the day this instruction was complied with. The Club also has considerable outstanding debt to the League, and have not complied with the instruction issued on 29th January 2015, when they were made aware of the requirement to settle the debt in full within 14 days. Having sought confirmation from The Football Association of the procedure to be adopted in these circumstances, the League Secretary has now issued 14 days notice to all member clubs that an Extraordinary General Meeting will be held on Monday March 2nd 2015. The agenda for the meeting is: "To expel Stockport Sports F.C. from membership of the North West Counties Football League". In the event that that member clubs vote in favour of Stockport Sports being expelled, their playing record will be expunged.

PREVIOUS MEETINGS v AFC LIVERPOOL This will be the fourth meeting between the two sides this season, as the records are equal, winning one each and drawing the other. Tuesday 27th August 2013 Squires Gate 1-1 AFC Liverpool The visitors went into the game on the back of an 8-0 win against Wigan Robin Park the week before. The reds came into the game full of confidence but surprisingly it was Squires Gate who opened the scoring as Max Landless chipped the keeper and then tapped in on 29 minutes. On the hour mark, it was level as Paul Brown made it 1-1. It was a great result for the hosts but the visitors must have felt it was points dropped. Wednesday 19th March 2014 AFC Liverpool 2-1 Squires Gate Another close game between the sides, as Gate will feel they deserved a point from this game. During the first half, the visitors were riding their luck, but managed to see the game through to half time without conceding. After 63 minutes, AFC Liverpool took the lead as Neville Pickton scored from 30 yards out and then the game could have gone either way until the sucker punch on the 89th minute when the reds doubled their lead. Gate were awarded for all their pressure in stoppage time as Daniel Penswick netted when the home side couldn’t clear. Saturday 24th January 2015 AFC Liverpool 0-0 Squires Gate In this top of the table clash, it was the third meeting between both sides having met in the vase and cup already. In what was hyped up to be a very entertaining game, it was the away side who had the first chance on the 15th minute when Dunn’s cross from the left found Alex Murphy at the back post but his header didn’t test the keeper. There were many chances for both side but neither side could break the deadlock, and the result reflected on why both sides were in the top 6.

AFC Liverpool AFC Liverpool was formed in 2008, by Liverpool FC fans, who had becoming increasingly frustrated at the cost and difficulty in obtaining tickets for the Premiership. The supposed ‘39th game’ in which Premier League fixtures would be played in different parts of the world proved to be the final straw, highlighting that top flight football is now more concerned about money than its fans. A website was created and, with the response being positive, work began to move to the next stage and create a steering group to make the club a reality. At the beginning of March 2008 AFC Liverpool was officially formed and it was made clear that the club was not in any way a response to the ownership issue at Anfield or a protest against Liverpool Football Club, more a reaction to issues at the top end of football in general. By May, AFC Liverpool had appointed its first manager in Derek Goulding. The following month the club arranged a groundshare with Prescot Cables and had been accepted into the North West Counties Football League. The club’s first game was a 1-1 draw in a friendly with St Helens Town on 16th July 2008 and they began their inaugural league season extremely well, beating Darwen 5-0 in their first competitive game and going on a run of ten wins in the first eleven games. However they failed to keep this momentum going, and the club eventually finished fourth in the league. The season did prove fruitful though as a victory in the final of the First Division Trophy over Padiham at Ashton Athletic provided the club’s first piece of silverware. 2009/10 began with three successive victories but after this the season became very indifferent. After a 5-2 home defeat to Atherton Collieries on Easter Monday, Derek Goulding left the club and ex assistant and goalkeeping coach Paul Moore was appointed caretaker Manager. Under Moore’s stewardship AFC had a strong end to the 2009/10 campaign, winning five out of their last seven league games to climb to fifth in the league and also retaining the First Division Trophy, coming from behind to beat Cheadle Town 2-1 in the final at Flixton. In doing so, AFC Liverpool became the first club not only to win the Trophy twice but also successfully defend it. 2010/11 also began in promising fashion with the Reds going on a ten game unbeaten run after an opening day loss at AFC Darwen. However despite amassing their highest ever points total promotion never looked probable due to the form of would be Champions AFC Blackpool and second placed Runcorn Town, resulting in a fourth placed finish, missing out on third by goal difference. There was disappointment too in the First Division Trophy when they reached the final for a third consecutive time only to lose to Atherton Collieries 3-2 in extra time. In the FA Vase, steady progress was made to the third round, where their dreams of Wembley were dashed by a defeat at Whitley Bay, who would go on to claim a third successive triumph. However at the League AGM in July 2011 there was a surprise when Rossendale were expelled from the league and Formby were demoted to the First Division. Holker Old Boys, who finished third on goal difference, declined an invitation to take up a place in the Premier Division, meaning that AFC Liverpool were invited to take the place and the club accepted the chance that was offered to them. The 2011/12 season started badly in terms of results but not performances for AFC Liverpool as they had to wait until November for their first League victory, which came about in the form of a 7-0 demolition of Winsford United From that point, AFC Liverpool, who had been rooted to the foot of the table, began the steady climb out of danger, ultimately finishing in nineteenth place, sixteen points clear of the relegation places. 2012/13 saw AFC Liverpool consolidate their position in the North West Counties Premier Division with an eleventh placed finish, accumulating sixty points in the process. As the season progressed, manager Paul Moore built a core squad of players, which played some of the most exciting, attractive football in the league and post Christmas, won fifteen and drew five of twenty eight games, including a defeat of eventual Premier Division champions Padiham on their home patch. The performances were rewarded in the final game of the season as the Reds beat recently crowned champions of the EvoStik NPL First Division North, Skelmersdale United, 3-0 in the Liverpool Senior Cup semi final to book an all North West Counties clash with Bootle in the final. Last season the Reds started the campaign at a pace, topping the early tables. They fell just short of being the youngest club to claim the Liverpool Senior Cup, losing the final on penalties, and remained among the league's pacesetters until November and December when six points taken from eight games saw them drop away. Paul Moore's side remained consistent post Christmas though and the club eventually achieved their highest league finish, ending up seventh with a total of seventy point
