National North Weekend Review

Hereford's Cawley Cox With Manager Aaron Downes After Three Points At Chorley

A review of yesterday's games in the National North League written by NL's Sam Elliott. 

Just because there was exciting FA Cup action on offer, that didn’t mean the battle for points was halted with more intrigue at the top of both divisions.

South Shields strengthened their grip on the Enterprise National League North leadership with a crushing display.

They rolled Calum McIntrye’s Southport over 5-1 - Cedwyn Scott scored twice, with Paul Blackett, Adam Campbell and Jack Roles also on target.

Hednesford added to Morecambe’s issue with a 6-2 victory - Jamie Cooke scored an incredible hat-trick for the impressive Pitmen. Dylan Mottley-Henry added two, with Jamie Morgan sealing the deal.

Hereford are back on track and up to second after a 2-1 win at Chorley. Cawley Cox scored both goals for the Bulls.

Merthyr Town won 4-1 against Hebburn - Ellis Watts and Morgan Wigley added some extra time gloss.

Connor Woods’ late penalty saw Chester take the points home from nine man Brackley Town.

Louis Mount backed up a brilliant October as he carried on his good form. AFC Telford beat Spalding United 2-1.

Ross Crane but the seal on King’s Lynn Town 2-0 win at home to struggling Spennymoor Town.

Elsewhere, Scarborough Athletic came from 2-0 down to pinch a point from Buxton, Rio Allan’s penalty made it 2-2.
