GMWF 65s League
Tables Divisions 1 & 2 October 2019
In Division 1 in this second session of the 65s Autumn League Bury Relics already look likely to becoming the champions with an eight point lead and far superior goal difference to second placed Man City. Tameside Striders and Salcom, the latter who were in second spot in September, are both on nine points with last year’s Autumn League champions Rochdale AFC Strollers in bottom spot on five points.
Division 2 saw Manchester Corinthians, with players missing, increase their three point lead to four points. Preston North End Senior Whites drop from second spot to third, while Chorley FC move up from third to second.
Rochdale Striders and AFC Blackpool Senior Seasiders remain in fourth and fifth spot respectively.
Table Division 3 October 2019
Division 3 was played on 24th October and Fleetwood Town Flyers remain at the top of the table on goal difference over Moston Brook FC. Rochdale Wanderers stay in third spot and second placed Maccabi Old Codgers in September drop to fourth spot. Wakefield Wanderers picked up two points and remain in bottom position.
GMWF 70s League
Tables Divisions 1 & 2 October 2019
Rochdale AFC Strollers are back in top spot in Division 1, a position they are accustomed to, with September leaders Preston North End Senior Whites two points adrift. One of these two teams look odds on to take the title.
Tameside Striders had a mixed day, beating September table toppers Preston and losing to both the Strollers and to bottom placed Bury Relics. The Bury side are still two points behind the Striders and it could go to the wire to see which team drops into Division 2 in next year’s Spring league.
Division 2 sees AFC Blackpool Senior Seasiders increase their lead at the top by two points over Man City. Moston Brook FC only picked up one point and swap places with Salcom at the bottom. Salcom, with no points in September due to their unavailability to fulfil their fixtures had a good day with five points now on the board.

It’s great to be back playing in the best organised league. I had a double bypass heart op at the end of March this year, and was itching to get back.
The camaraderie, jokes etc all go to make a great day out, (it helps being top of our league). I have been playing for Blackpool SS for over four years now, and having played at numerous venues, love the Heywood set up, but we could do with a few more 70s teams.
Keep up the great work lads, Ken P.
Another excellent set of games at Heywood in the month of October.
Well done Bill, Steve, Barry and Paul setting up the place and fixtures for us. The League goes from
strength to strength. Well done referees who all do the job that we don’t want to. Much appreciated.
Having played in the 60’s, 65’s and 70’s competitions I am now looking forward to a “quiet” week off with
the three grandchildren !!!!!
