Maghull lose 2-0 at Daisy Hill in North West Counties First Division North

Maghull began the week as leaders of the North West Counties League First Division North and ended it with one win and one defeat. On Tuesday 3 November they won 3-2 at Steeton, coming from behind after the Chevrons had led 2-1 at the break. Nathan Peet and Zak Riley scored from corners, and Sam Smith added the winner after a mix-up between Arley Barnes and Brad Emmerson. Maghull's director of football, John McInnes, said the last few weeks had been "incredibly tough for the club with injuries and suspensions".

On Saturday 7 November they went to Daisy Hill and lost 2-0. Daisy Hill described the win as an excellent afternoon's work against the league leaders. Daisy Hill had gone into the game seven points off a play-off place, with six league games scheduled in 22 days.
