NWCFL Premier Division: Squires Gate 2 - Maine Road 1

Squires Gate FC picked up only their second win of the season in this hard fought encounter with Maine Road.  After a tightly controlled first half in which Gate looked the better side, the visitors piled on the pressure and will be wondering how they did not win this match, hitting the post twice, the bar once and having an almost certain goal cleared off the line.

Squires Gate remain in 20th place in the NWCFL Premier Division Table while AFC Blackpool's 5-1 defeat away at Congleton Town sees them drop to 7th .

AFC Blackpool are at home to AFC Darwen in the first round of the Lancashire Challenge Trophy on Tuesday evening - 7.45 kick off  - and then entertain undefeated league leaders Bootle on Saturday 29th September.

Squires Gate do not have a midweek game and are away at Winsford United on Saturday.
