South Liverpool have a productive October

Despite very little football over the last month due to freezing conditions and then very wet weather, South Liverpool have eased their way into the middle of the table in the North Division of the North West Counties League.

With only four defeats in the last fourteen matches, the team have made progress in both league cups, drawing Abbey Hulton United for both cups in the next round.

Three wins from the last five league games have given the team breathing space over many teams in the bottom half of the table. A 2-1 (goals from Rio Merrifield and Andy Lloyd) win over Ashton Town and a 5-0 ( goals from Alex Griffiths, Mason Nevitt (2), Rio Merrifield and Cameron Glennon) drubbing of Runcorn Town were vital wins against teams in the r elegation zone.

The club’s reserve team are in excellent form, winning their last four matches to move into the top half of the table, including a last-minute 2-1 win over second-placed Sutton Athletic.

The club’s third team had an eleven-match unbeaten run dating back to August with a recent 3-2 loss to Chester Nomads Reserves in the League Cup but are in a good place to make a 2023 charge for the top three.

The club’s Sunday Veterans team have not played many games but are top of the third division of the Cheshire Veterans League with a 100% record and will be confident of clinching the league title in 2023.
