AFC Blackpool got off to a winning start to 2012 with a 1 : 0 NWCFL (North West Counties Football League) win over Alsager on Saturday, 7th January 2012.

Fleetwood Town in the FA Cup took place.

Squires Gate FC's match away at Flixton was postponed.  They remain in 19th place in the NWCFL Premier Division Table after today's games. AFC Blackpool face Alsager Town again next Saturday in the return fixture in the League, whilst Squires Gate FC are at home against Ashton Athletic.
