🤔 | The FA's explanation for a recommendation, endorsed by its board and ratified by council members, to end the 2019-20 season at steps 3-7 of the National League System, is more than 1,300 words long. And yet it doesn't address the following questions...👇🏻

What can I say about Terry Murphy? The fiercest competitor, and a winner. But he was also kind, patient and encouraging to this reporter as a 'cub'. Always ready with a quote; often funny, witty too, but always incisive. And the proudest 'Northwicher'. I'm heartbroken 💔

⏹️ | FULL-TIME Witton inflict a first defeat of the campaign on Macclesfield thanks to Joe Duckworth's second-half goal. Albion punished a mistake by goalkeeper Marcelo Pitaluga, while at the other end Ollie Martin was in inspired form to keep out the Silkmen. 🔴 1-0 🔵

There are several people that encapsulate the heart, soul and spirit of @1874Northwich and Vicki is one of them. I never tire of telling people the secretary’s role is the most challenging in non-league footy, and she does it with patience, hard work, and no little skill.

10 years ago today I became Football Secretary @1874Northwich . As for all volunteers, it's been hard work, hours of effort but very rewarding too. Loved working with some of the best people. 'The boys' too 🥰 Credit to those closest for their patience & support 💚🖤

🗓 | A hat-trick for @robhop9 in a stunning success for @WinsfordUnited yesterday comes more than 13 years after his previous one in Blue. A fresh-faced 22-year-old hit a treble in a cup tie against Ashton Town in February 2007. Class is permanent...👏🏻

📋 | LINE-UP @1874Northwich included three teenagers from the first minute this afternoon, and the average age of the starting line-up was 22.81. For the back four, that figure was 19.75. Liam Buckley rightly identified as the pick of those.

⚽️ | Ryan Mitchell's goal for @1874Northwich last night is his first since the opening afternoon of the 2018-19 campaign. The 31-year-old also ended a wait to start a match for the #nwcfl club that has lasted almost a year; November 23, 2019 to be exact. Good to see him back.

Thoroughly deserved, and the margin of victory might have been wider - a real collective effort. That's the first time this season that 1874 have recovered from 1-0 down to win a league game. Perfect timing, because it secures their status at step four for a third campaign.

Shout out for Ben Harrison who made his 300th appearance for @WittonAlbion yesterday. It's a sequence that started on August 30, 2010 when he was just 19...! Still an outstanding performer and leader in defence for the #Northwich club.

Surely he's a contender for player of the season? Has adapted to playing at a higher level better than most, and weighed in with his share of goals too. I love Joe's story; has recovered from serious injuries that would have finished the career of many others.

📊 | 𝗜𝗻 𝗻𝘂𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘀 Karl Marginson deserves huge credit for the impact he's had at Trafford. They've collected 26 points since he was appointed on October 15. Had the season started on that day, his side would be eighth in the NPL's West Division tonight.

100 appearances ✅ @MikeKoral made it to this milestone for @WittonAlbion during yesterday's game. His debut was as a substitute during an #FACup tie at Runcorn Town on September 13, 2014. A striker back then, he's now one of the league's most accomplished full-backs.

9⃣ | "The decision was based on the fairest method to decide the sporting outcomes for the season, with the integrity of the leagues in mind." How damaged is integrity, both now and in the future, if an entire season's playing record can be expunged?

Want to amplify this thread. Volunteers are organising these promotion play-offs games at short notice and the 'to-do' list is huge. The board at @RuncornLinnets deserve fullsome praise for how smoothly Tuesday's semi-final was run. But don't underestimate the work that took!

1/3 A bit of criticism on here last night about tickets for @PrescotCablesFC v @CityofLpoolFC Credit the smart thinking from Cables to hold a healthy amount of tickets back from online sale - still allows a way for genuine fans of either side to find a legal way in on the day…

What I loved about Morris last night was his composure in the big moments. Yes, Linnets made defensive errors, but both finishes were emphatic - gave the goalkeeper zero chance. That's what settles play-offs ties. He's had a brilliant season.

0⃣-2⃣ to the Purps!!! Another Kenny Strickland ball causes problems in the Linnets defence before it eventually falls to @_ElliotMorris who smashes the ball home to clinch a deserved 0-2 victory in last night's @NorthernPremLge West Play-Off Semi-final!! 👏👏💜 🎙️ @purpsmatchday
