Talk of the Town Good evening and welcome to Brocstedes Park for this North West Counties League, Premier Division contest against our friends from Runcorn Town. May I open by welcoming our visitors I hope they enjoy the short time they will spend with us and have a safe journey home after the game. It been almost three weeks since we were last hosting a team here at Brocstedes Park when welcomed Blackpool outfit Squires Gate. I made reference in my programme notes to both teams abilities to score and concede goals and that the we wouldn’t be seeing a goalless draw, which of course the teams played out! Town dominated the opening period but could not net and the visitors has the better of the second period but they also could not make any impact on scoresheet and the sides shared the spoils. We then had a rare midweek off prior to taking a trip to Congleton the following Saturday, again St Helens dominated the first half and could not net and prior to the break Congleton scored from a corner allowing Hudson sending a free header into the net. The visitors were denied a stonewall penalty in added on time at the end of the half when Whyte was scythed down by the home stopper after he spilled an initial effort and was slow getting to the rebound, the striker beat him to it and the keeper clipping his ankles but the poorly placed referee somehow awarded a throw in to the hosts. A minute or so later Whyte almost levelled from a corner but his goalbound effort was cleared off the line. Congleton secured the points when they netted a second after the interval.

We then took a trip to Blackpool to take on AFC Blackpool and the usual gusty conditions were amplified with the end of the hurricane that had hit the country and Town had the wind at their backs in the first half netting first through the returning Lewis Coyle but conceded a sloppy goal from a long throw and the sides were level at the interval. It was the hosts who took the points with what can only be described as a “wind assisted” second goal from distance as they played the conditions better than Town. We then took our first trip to Widnes in MEN United

Cup action on Saturday and looked to be coasting as they were quick out the blocks with Chad Whyte netting with 90 seconds on the clock. Whyte doubled the lead from the spot after a foul on Kris Bell and it was 3-0 with 25 minutes on the clock as Bell tapped home from close range and the first half scoring was concluded when a free kick was flicked past the visiting stopper by his own man. The second half saw Town looking comfortable but Widnes were always dangerous on the break and pulled one back on the hour when a speculative effort from distance by Bowden-Davies found the net. The hosts pulled a third back through Campbell-Joseph and forced extra time when Davies headed a right wing corner home in added on time. Neither side tested the keepers too much in the extra half hour and two missed in the shoot-out from Town cost them a place in the next round which looked assured at half time. We get back to the bread and butter of league action this evening as we host a Runcorn -Town side that have already give us a bit of a pasting this season having won the reverse game 7-2 at the Pavilions in August. Lets hope we can gain a modicum of revenge tonight! Finally, let’s get behind Town this evening and hopefully cheer them onto victory you support is vital to the cause! Enjoy the game . . .

In Town Today Runcorn Town were formed in 1967 under the name of Mond Rangers FC. They played for the first few years in the Runcorn Sunday league, and in 1973 they made the decision to try Saturday football in the impressive Warrington and District League (WDL). In their first season they finished as runners up, and after amalgamating with ICI Weston for the 1974/75 season, they became one of the strongest sides in the league. They remained in the WDL until 1984 when they were elected to join the West Cheshire League (WCL) Division Two. Mond established themselves

as a good, solid mid-table team until the 1991/92 season when they won their first silverware in the West Cheshire Bowl as well as a respectable sixth place finish. The following season they finished third in the league and reached the Bowl final, with another third place finish the following season in which they scored 100 goals and regaining the Bowl. Promotion finally came in 1994/95 when they finished second in the league scoring 118 goals. They also reached the Final of the Cheshire Amateur Cup but lost to Poulton Victoria in a match played at Prenton Park, Tranmere. Despite sharing the Bill Weight Memorial Trophy in that first season, Division One proved a struggle and they were relegated for the first time in the clubs history in 2001/02. Success returned in 2004/05 with the team finishing as runners up in Division Two, winning the Runcorn Senior Cup and reaching the final of the Bowl. Ahead of the 2005/06 season, the club changed their name to Runcorn Town in order to try and bring a more professional look to the club in general, and hopefully increase support from both businesses and individuals in the local community. A decision was also made to try and improve facilities at the club with a view to joining the North West Counties League. The season got off to a good start with the Bill Weight Memorial Cup won early on and the Runcorn Cup added, but on the final day of the season, they slipped into the relegation places for the first time to suffer a heart-breaking relegation. Town quickly regrouped and bounced back the next season by winning Division Two for the first time. The following three seasons saw top four finishes, although the main progression was off the field as the ground was transformed. Hard standing, seating and floodlights were installed for the first time, with the dressing rooms also upgraded. This enabled the club to be elected to the North West Counties League at the start of the 2010/11 season, with the club also entering the FA Vase and the Cheshire Senior Cup for the first time in their history. It is fair to say that the first season in the league exceeded all expectations, with the team losing just two league matches as they secured promotion to the Premier Division as runners-up, with James McShane finishing as the league's overall leading scorer with 43 goals. The Quarter Final of the Division One Trophy was also reached as well as the Semi Final of the Challenge Cup, whilst Warrington Town were held in the Cheshire Senior Cup before losing on penalties. In the clubs' FA Vase debut season, the club also wrote headlines as they progressed through four successive away ties before bowing out in the in the Last 32 stage against Dunston UTS, the last remaining North West Counties League side in the competition. The first season in the Premier Division saw Town continue in the same vein that they left Division One, with the team losing out on

Runcorn Town the title on the last day of the season to Ramsbottom United. James McShane once again topped the scoring charts with Town scoring over 120 goals in all competitions. The club were also once again the last remaining NWCL side in the FA Vase, this time reaching a replay in the Last 32 before bowing out. We also made our debut in the FA Cup, winning two games before bowing out in the 1st Qualifying Round to Evo-Stik League side Ashton United. The 2012/13 season was another good one for the club, finishing in fourth place in the Premier Division just four points off top spot. Progress was made in the FA Vase with the Last 16 reached for the first time, with the 1st Qualifying Round of the FA Vase made once more. Another good scalp came in the Cheshire Senior Cup with a 5-0 away win at Warrington which earned the "Team of the Round" award. Last term saw the club again fighting at the top of the division and looking for promotion to the next level. The club finished in 5th place their worst placing since their elevation to the top flight in the 2011/12 season. The club who had been known for progression in the national cup competitions also had a disappointing season in that respect exiting the FA Cup at the Preliminary Round stage at the hands of Glossop North End and falling at the first hurdle in the FA Vase visiting heavyweights and four time winners Whitley Bay in the 2nd round and losing 3-0.

From the Chair Good evening and a very warm welcome to Brocstedes Park for this North West Counties Football League Premier Division encounter with our friends and local rivals Runcorn Town. Let’s hope their players, officials and supporters along with our own home support have had a safe journey and enjoy an entertaining encounter.

I am not sure I have yet recovered from the disappointment of Saturday’s loss at the Select Stadium when our hosts Widnes FC recovered from a first half pasting to recover from 1-4 down at the break to draw level in added on time and with extra time unable to separate the sides Widnes progressed 4-3 on penalties. I am not sure what went wrong in the second half and in reality we still had plenty of chances to extend our lead throughout the game but failed to take any of them and the gutsy performance by the Division and our failure to defend set pieces cost us dearly! If you wish to revisit the game a superb video highlights package including the penalty shootout is available on the club website sthelenstownafc.com courtesy of Widnes FC and Matthew Martin. A full set of match photos are also posted on the website along with images from many of this season’s games. Tonight sees Runcorn Town looking to complete the double over Town having recorded a 7-2 win at the Pavillions back in August. We will need to be at our best to get anything from this evening and must ensure that we go into Saturday’s FA Vase game with Yorkshire Amateur in a positive mind-set. Runcorn made Men United Cup progress on Saturday with an excellent 1-4 win at Congleton Town with former Town player Danny Clarke on target along with Shanley, Beckett and Thompson. Tonight’s visitors will now entertain Cammell Laird 1907 (who knocked out Runcorn Linnets 1-0) on Saturday 29th November. There’s a couple of players who have made the switch to the opposition this season with Mike Houghton starting the season with us before transferring to Runcorn while Gaz Grant made the switch from tonight’s visitors to St Helens! We are still looking for match and match ball sponsors and we also have a few player sponsorship packages still available from just £50 for the whole season. See me at tonight’s game or give me a call on 07713 339 682 or email [email protected] Saturday sees us back in FA Vase action as Yorkshire Amateur FC make the journey to Brocstedes while next Tuesday evening we make the trip to meet Stockport Sports at the Sports Village. Enjoy the game and hopefully we will see some of you again on Saturday John McKiernan Chairman St Helens Town AFC

NWCFL News

After a bad run of defeats during August and September, West Didsbury & Chorlton manager Andy Nelson is happy with the way in which his squad have turned the season round. West suffered seven straight defeats during August and September, but since then have won seven out of ten games to move into a comfortable mid-table position. But as Andy explained, there were some mitigating factors that contributed to the poor early form.

"We have a lot of teachers in the squad and at the start of the season we had a problem at times as a lot of players were away. We went to Runcorn Linnets with nine players missing, and you can't go into a game like that with that number missing. We have had our fair share of bad luck too, we have been on the wrong end of some big decisions.

"I don't want that to sound like there are sour grapes, these decisions pan out over the course of a season and I'm not criticising referees. It's just that so far, unfortunately the big decisions are the ones we haven't got. We have also had some bad injuries. We lost our captain Mark Rogers to a bad injury right at the start of the season, and that was a big blow. "You are not just losing a player, you are losing the leader on the pitch, and it was something that took everyone back a bit. But we knew when the players all came back that we would turn the corner". Over the past few weeks results for West have indeed improved, and are all the more impressive given that a number of the squad have made the step up from the club's youth ranks. "It's not easy to keep getting results and at the same time give young lads that bit of experience, you have to try and balance the two", said Andy. "Without a big budget, which we don't have, the next generation has to be getting ready. You won't get them ready by keeping them way below the first team, so we keep integrating them. "We've brought in six or seven this year who were playing no more than parks football last year and that is a big step up, but if you don't

allow them to get that chance you won't have them ready. We are looking to start and academy next year, which will bring more young players to the club. On top of that, the youth team are doing well in the North West Alliance, playing the likes of Southport and Salford City. Going to Wrexham in the FA Youth Cup was a great buzz for them and everyone at the club. "One of the lads that played in that game came on late on Saturday against Barnoldswick Town, and we are trying to do that with the young players, and introduce them when we can". Looking ahead to the rest of the season, Andy is targeting improvement on last season's 12th place finish. We do play some very nice football, and I am dead chuffed with the way we have been playing", he said. "We try and play the right way and have some good players. The challenge now is to keep it going.

Town Managers

Between 1946 and 1962 the club, like many, didn’t have a ‘manager’. Town officials would liaise with first and reserve team captains over team selection. In 1962-63 ‘First Manager’ Pat Murphy came from Burscough with a nucleus of his team which won the Lancashire Combination Division One title for Burscough but the formulae didn’t work for Town despite financial backing of a brand new 200 seat supporters club opened by John Connelly in spring of 1962. 1963-64 Sam Cottingham came after success with Pilkington's in a move to rebalance the squad with more local players. 1964-66 Jimmy McKiernan became the club's first commercial manager and team boss after arriving from Earlestown via a successful playing career which included a spell on the North Wales circuit. 1966-68 Jackie Dewsnip, cousin of Town player Jimmy Dewsnip who along with the latter’s son Neil meant the Haydock based family served Town well over a couple of decades. 1968-71 Peter Jones took the reigns in the wake of the Northern Premier League being formed which reduced Town’s league (Lancs Combination) to one division. He moved on after three years to a position on the staff of Preston North End. 1971-77 Alan Hampson arrived from South Liverpool after a distinguished playing career at Holly Park and became a mini ‘Messiah’ as Town won the Lancs Combination title in 1972 along with the Bass Charrington and Watson trophy in quick succession. He also oversaw Town’s step into the Cheshire County League in 1975 as by then, the Lancashire Comb had become a pale imitation of its former self. 1977-79 The aforementioned Jimmy Dewsnip took the reigns after ‘Hampy’ had moved on and became the first ex Town player to become manager. He combined this with work for the Liverpool County FA with the latter eventually claiming his services after two years. 1979-80 Player manager Geoff Robinson hailed from the new overspill at Laffak where he also ran the increasingly successful ‘Starting Gate’ pub team in the blossoming new Sunday League. Many of his squad were ‘Town’ players but the ‘conflict’ of interests was seen as detrimental to the senior club. 1980-82 Jack Prytherch had been at Wigan Athletic and he brought in players from that area including new club skipper, his son in law, Steve Murfin. Jack’s reign saw the formation of the North West Counties League and Town’s first season was a struggle in the new league’s top flight resulting in a change in mid-term. 1982-84 Peter Rutherford. After the success of Alan Hampson a decade earlier, the Town board returned to South Liverpool again for their next appointment. Peter Rutherford was number two at Holly Park at the time but he also found it hard going in the NWCFL inaugural season and his charges only escaped relegation on a ‘technicality’. Things got a little better the following season and he bowed out just before glory arrived. 1984-87 Alan Wellens had skippered Town’s Lancs Combination title team and went on to become the club’s top appearances holder after making his debut at Great Harwood in 1966. His playing career was ended by a broken leg against Hyde in 1981 at Hoghton Road. Alan went on to Town history with the club’s historic journey to Wembley in 1987 before he and the vast majority of the FA Vase winning side sought pastures new. 1987-92 Alan Aspinall (pictured opposite) took over the mantle of manager following the departure of the Vase squad and management team having been Reserve team boss and spent a successful five seasons in charge.

Past & Present 1992-93 Mick Holgate presided over just one season at Hoghton Road before moving

on to Leigh RMI. 1993-2002 Jimmy McBride stepped up from his position as Reserve team boss to take the reigns of the first team for almost a decade which saw the club’s move from Hoghton Road to Saints. Took the club to its first cup final since the visit to Wembley but lost out in the League Cup and Floodlit Trophy finals in the mid 1990s. 2002-2003 John Davison and Peter King arrived from Burscough having presided over a very successful period in the ‘Linnets’ history. After a disappointing first campaign despite significant financial backing the club’s need to tighten the purse strings led to the pair’s departure at the start of the 2003 campaign, along with most of the squad. 2003-04 Ex-Everton professional Paul Lodge became Town

manager as the club reeled from financial cuts but unfortunately his youthful side struggled at the bottom of the league and he was replaced in January 2004. 2004-05 Former Town ‘keeper Joe Paladino took over the reigns from Lodge and secured the club ’s safety from relegation before going to challenge for the title during most of 2004-05. Joe resigned in March 2005. 2005-06 Assistant to Paladino, Joe Gibiliru took over the manager’s position and presided over a period of on the field stability for the club before resigning in September 2006. 2006-07 Alex Wright, who had previously been assistant manager to Paul Lodge returned to the club as manager but his tenure was short-lived as family commitments led to him stepping down in September 2007. 2007-08 John Fletcher, Wright’s assistant, was given managerial responsibility and he steered the club away from the relegation battle with a 19th place finish at the end of 2006-7. Despite the club’s off the field problems and financial difficulties the following season saw Fletcher’s charges finish fourteenth after only one defeat in the last nine games. However Town remained rooted in a relegation spot for most of the following season and Fletcher departed with weeks of the season remaining. 2009 – 2010 Gary Bickerstaffe was appointed in March 2009 and secured the club ’s safety with some ease recording six victories from the final eight games. Bickerstaffe’s fine form as manager continued throughout 2009-10 eventually finishing in 9th place. 2010 – 2011 Lee Riley steps up from assistant manager when Gary Bickerstaffe steps down at the end of the 2009-10. Lee resigned in March 2011 due to work commitments and Iain Dyson took over the managerial reigns before he too stepped down at the end of the season. 2011-12 season saw Jimmy McBride make a return to Town but it proved a difficult season and Town parted company with him as we narrowly avoided relegation.

2012 - 2013 Ian Granite became manager following success with neighbours Wigan Robin Park FC. A challenging 2012-13 season saw Town eventually steer clear of relegation, in doing so maintaining their unique 30 year stay in the North West Counties League top division. Despite an excellent start to the 2013-14 season Ian stepped down at the end of November due to business and family commitments and Ian Price (left) took over the managerial reigns with Paul Jones as his assistant. Many thanks to Jim Barrett and Eric Bond for their input in compiling the information.

Match Report Town blown off course at Blackpool AFC Blackpool 2-1 St Helens Town Tuesday 21st October 2014 St. Helens Town turned in a much-improved performance at stormy Blackpool on Tuesday night, but were left kicking themselves after they

failed to take advantage of the strong wind in the first half. Scoring for the first time in eight league matches, they took the lead but then lost the game 2-1, thanks in the main to a more astute AFC Blackpool side, who made the most of their few scoring chances, used the conditions to their advantage and held on for only their second win of the season. With the remnants of Hurricane Gonzalo at their backs in the first half, Town went on the offensive from the start, forcing any number of scoring chances and corner kicks, but they scored only once and it was never going to be enough to win the game. In the early part of the season,

they were scoring goals for fun, but since the goals dried up after the first week of September, they have found it hard to get back into the groove. Gaz Grant went close on 12 minutes, but his shot was deflected and hit the left-hand post and Lewis Coyle, returning to the club after a spell at Droylsden, had his header scrambled round the other post by home keeper Adam Caunce midway through the half. However, the stopper’s luck ran out when he was caught off his line and Karl Bergqvist’s shot was turned in by Coyle after 29 minutes. Town had been so far on top that it was difficult to see how the home side could get back into the game, but from a break a minute before half-time, Mitch Newsham headed past Rory Crowther for a surprise equaliser and this turned the game on its head. Eight minutes into the second half, Town fell behind to a goal from the enterprising Matt Muscroft who, seeing Crowther off his line, launched a huge up-and-under from over 40 yards out. Assisted by the gale at his back, the ball bounced over the stranded keeper into the net. Town might have levelled a minute later, but Chad Whyte’s header was saved by Caunce and

the keeper rode his luck on 76 minutes when, after a cross by substitute James Halpin, Whyte got in a goalbound touch, but Caunce just held on to deny the young centre forward. St. Helens still had chances to salvage a point, but no player could get in a shot to test Caunce and Blackpool held on for the victory. In truth, Town had only themselves to blame for not building on their lead in the first half and, turning to face the full force of the storm, they were at the mercy of the elements and the shrewd home side who made the most of their relatively few chances.

A Brief History The original Town club was in existence from 1901 to 1928, but George Fryer and a number of local businessmen decided to re-form the club in 1946. They obtained a lease on the Hoghton Road ground in Sutton, adjacent to St. Helens Junction station on the Liverpool to Manchester railway line, took over a local St. Helens Combination team, Derbyshire Hill Rovers, signing a number of players from other clubs and entered the Liverpool County Combination in the 1947/48 season, playing against Everton “A” and Liverpool “A” and several reserve sides from the leading non-league clubs in the Merseyside area. Success was first attained in May 1949 when Runcorn were defeated in the final of the George Mahon Cup, played at the Prescot Cables ground. The following season, 1949/50, Town were elevated to the Second Division of the Lancashire Combination and they were promoted as Champions in only their second season to the First Division, where they ran up against teams such as Ashton United, Nelson and New Brighton, newly relegated from the Football League. Sadly, Town were themselves relegated in their first season and although promoted briefly again for the 1955/56 season, they spent most of their early years in the Second Division. Improvements were quickly made to the facilities at Hoghton Road in the early years, but in November 1952 the decision was taken to re-locate to the former St. Helens Recs’ rugby league ground at City Road in order to further their ambitions of reaching the Football League. Initially, the move resulted in some encouraging crowds, but the club had a change of heart and returned to Sutton in the October 1953. The ground was purchased and further developed and a social club and floodlights were added in later years. Town were Champions of the Lancashire Combination in 1971/72 season, losing only one game, finishing 6 points clear of Accrington Stanley. 1975 brought a switch to the Cheshire League, where they remained until the formation of the North West Counties League in 1982 and St. Helens Town is still the only club to feature in the top division of that league throughout its existence. The club’s major achievement was to win the FA Vase at Wembley in 1987. After a stuttering start in the Preliminary Round with a 5-4 extra-time win over Colne Dynamoes, further home successes over General Chemicals, Wren Rovers, Guisborough Town and Wythenshawe Amateurs, led to wins at Wisbech Town, at home to Rainworth Miners Welfare, away to Falmouth Town (after a replay) and in the away leg at Emley when, following a 1-0 home defeat in the first-leg, a 2-0 win in Yorkshire

secured a Wembley Final against local rivals Warrington Town, who were dispatched 3-2 with goals from Phil Layhe (2) and Brian Rigby. St. Helens Town boast an impressive “Hall of Fame”, including legendary goalkeeper and former German Prisoner-of-War Bert Trautmann, who signed for Manchester City over 60 years ago and who went on to play the game of his life in the 1956 FA Cup Final, despite breaking his neck in the latter stages. Bill Foulkes was transferred to Manchester United, where he had a glittering career, surviving the Munich Air Disaster in 1958, in which he bravely rescued some of his stricken team-mates. John Connelly, an England squad member in the victorious 1966 World Cup campaign, was sold to Burnley and he later moved to join Foulkes at Old Trafford. Sadly, all three have passed away in the last few years. Other future stars, groomed at St. Helens Town, include John Quinn (Sheffield Wednesday), Geoff Nulty (Burnley, Newcastle United and Everton) and, most recently, ace goalscorer Dave Bamber, who began and ended his league career at Blackpool and who played in all four divisions of the Football League. Captain of the FA Vase

winning team was Tommy O’Neil, who began his league career playing alongside George Best, Denis Law and Bobby Charlton at Manchester United.

of St Helens Town AFC

Town sold their Hoghton Road ground in 2000 to move in with St. Helens Rugby League Club at their Knowsley Road base. Their farewell appearance at Sutton produced a 1-0 win over Champions Vauxhall Motors and the initial campaign at Knowsley Road got off to a cracking start, with Town leading the table for most of the season, before finishing in a rather disappointing fourth place. Recent seasons have been more of a struggle, ninth place in 2009/10 being the best finish since. Season 2010-11 saw Town slide to 16th and next to bottom in 2011-12, when they would have been relegated, but for Flixton’s decision to resign from the league. Town began the 2012-13 season under new manager Ian Granite, who brought in a new team and coaching set-up and they battled well to avoid relegation, their status being confirmed with a couple of games remaining. 2013-14 was a mirror-image of the previous campaign, with a 14-game unbeaten run between September and December putting the club just behind the front runners for two thirds of the campaign. Granite resigned in November 2013 due to work and family commitments and his assistant Ian Price took over the reins, assisted by Paul Jones and Nick Matthews, but the long breaks caused by the winter weather interrupted their earlier rhythm and Town finished the season once again in the lower reaches, although never in any serious danger of the drop. Following the demolition of the Knowsley Road ground in 2010, Town have led a nomadic existence up the road in Ashton-in-Makerfield, sharing Ashton Town’s Edge Green Street ground for three seasons before moving across town to Brocstedes Park as the guests of Ashton Athletic in 2012. The current season is scheduled to be the club’s last in exile, as plans are in place for re-location back to St. Helens for the 2015-16 season at the Council-owned Ruskin Park site, currently undergoing massive redevelopment and a brand-new facility awaits. In readiness for the move, the club is undergoing a radical re-branding, adopting the town’s coat of arms as their badge once again and reverting next season to their traditional blue and white colours in preparation for a return to the town in 2015.

The main focus was on cup action at the weekend, with 32 clubs involved in 2nd Round ties in the Men United Cup. Game of the day was at the Select Security Stadium, where Widnes and St Helens Town ended the afternoon tied at 4-4, with Widnes winning the resultant penalty shoot out. It was a result few would have envisaged at half time with the Saints 4-1 up, but a spirited Widnes fight back in the second half led to Alex Davies grabbing a

dramatic equaliser in stoppage time. The tie was one of four that went to a penalty shoot out. In a thriller at the AM Property Group Stadium, Ashton Town and West Didsbury shared six goals, with West eventually winning the shoot out 5-4, and the other two games finished 1-1.

A last minute own goal saved Glossop at home to AFC Blackpool before they went on to win on penalties, and at Hanley Town it was the visitors Rochdale Town who emerged victorious, converting all five of their spot kicks. One of the more eye catching results of the day was at the MBS Stadium where Cammell Laird 1907 beat Premier Division league leaders Runcorn Linnets 1-0, courtesy of a goal from Craig Cairns after just two minutes. A number of clubs recorded impressive away wins, most notably Atherton Collieries who won 3-0 at Ashton Athletic, with Ben Hardcastle, Mark Battersby and Jordan Cover on target for Colls. No less impressive were Runcorn Town, who won 4-1 at Congleton Town after going a goal down in the 5th minute. Goals from Ryan Mitchell, Lee Duckworth and Daley Woods saw 1874 Northwich take a three goals lead inside 19 minutes at Barnoldswick, although the home side staged a fightback before losing 3-2. Jack Sowerby's 12th goal of the season helped Squires Gate to a 3-1 win at Nelson, and in an entertaining game at Daisy Hill,

two goals from Michael Blundell contributed to a 3-2 win for Alsager Town. Abbey Hey, winners of the competition in 2010, beat last season's finalists Maine Raod 2-0 at the Abbey Stadium, and there was heartbreak for Irlam at the Barton Stadium when a Brian Matthews penalty on 87 minutes and a last minute winner from Alex Byrne snatched a 2-1 win for Winsford United. Elsewhere Bootle won 2-0 at Oldham Boro, and Colne emerged with a 1-0 win at Silsden in the derby clash at the Angel Telecom Stadium, where the draw for the next round was made after the game. The full Third Round draw can be seen by clicking here. There were four games in Division One, with a hat trick from Yusef Yusef helping Northwich Flixton Villa to a 5-0 win at Wigan Robin Park and the other three games all ended in home wins. Joel Igenosa's 19th minute goal gave Atherton LR the points against Holker Old Boys, and Jake Ellis's goal a minute after the break ensured Barnton collected all three points against Litherland REMYCA. Matthew Russell, Adam Turner and Niall Sultan were all on target for Chadderton in the 3-0 home win over Eccleshall.

Match Report Town let slip a three goal lead to crash out of Men United Cup

Widnes 4-4 St Helens Town (after extra time) Widnes won 4-3 on penalties This game had to be seen to be believed. Leading 4-1 at half-time, Town simply did not turn up in the second half and allowed Widnes to claw their way back into a game in which they had appeared dead and

buried, levelling the tie in the 90th minute, before winning the penalty shoot out 4-3. The first half was so easy for St. Helens. They carved open the Widnes defence time and time again, taking the lead in the first minute when Andy Gillespie’s cross was dispatched by Chad Whyte for his first goal and the same player added a second from the penalty spot after Kris Bell had been brought down by Paul Carney after 13 minutes. At 2-0, the temptation was to sit back,

but Widnes served warnings of things to come, twice going close when James Halpin and then Jack McKay cleared shots off the line in the 17th and 20th minutes. Still, Town pressed home their advantage, Whyte nearly netting a third three minutes later, before another burst and cross from Gillespie was turned in by Bell to make it 3-0 after 25 minutes. Widnes reduced the arrears on 40 minutes, a free kick from out on the touchline, being deflected past Rory Crowther by one of his own defenders, but Town restored their three goal cushion right on half-time when a cross from Jamil Saleh found its way into the Widnes net from 20 yards out. Town took it easy in the second half, no doubt thinking they had done enough to win, trying pot-shots from distance, but Widnes hit back with a second goal on the

hour, Sean Bowden-Davies hitting home from 45 yards out, beating Crowther all ends up. Still, the odds against a Widnes win lengthened when they were reduced to ten men soon afterwards, but the introduction of substitute Jamil Campbell-Joseph turned the game. He ran the Town defence ragged and was rewarded with a goal on 78 minutes when, drawing Crowther on the edge of his 18-yard box, slotted home to make it 4-3 and Town simply had nothing left to offer when Alex Davies scored the equaliser in the last minute. The home team very nearly won the tie seconds later, but Campbell-Joseph blasted over the bar when it seemed easier to score. Extra time found both teams tired and neither produced any chances of note. On then, to the penalty shoot out and both teams scored from their opening three kicks, Town’s Gaz Grant, Saleh and Whyte netting. Widnes keeper David Nevitt then saved from Lewis Coyle before Campbell-Joseph put Widnes ahead for the first time and Karl Bergqvist hit his spot-kick against the underside of the bar and Town were out. Whilst Widnes were given a difficult trip to Glossop in the next round, St. Helens were left to lick their wounds. On the positive side, they have re-discovered their scoring touch but they must learn quickly how to shut out a game, especially with the FA Vase tie against Yorkshire Amateur at Brocstedes Park due next Saturday.
