Can Wigton derail the Fleetwood train?

Wigton make the trip down t'M6 to take on current league leaders and the team to have notched up 4 wins from their opening 4 games, Fleetwood. Wigton's ability to score points and with Fleetwood seemingly very strong in defence, this has all the signs of being game of the week. If Wigton can keep their team consistent, then they will be in the running come the end of the season. Fleetwood on the other hand regularly start at this kind of pace and drop off around week 6, but noises from the Seasiders camp suggest this could be their season.

Second placed Oldham travel to Bower Park to face Aspatria who have got their ball rolling after an opening day loss away at Fleetwood. Oldhams draw against Hawcoat Park suggest they may not have been at full strength and the Black Reds maintain their squad remains injury free, making for another potentially great fixture.

Carlisle travel to De La Salle and will be going with every intention of securing a win with their impressive attacking play and strong defence. However, De La Salle are more than capable of upsetting any team and containing sides throughout the full 80 minutes, it remains to be seen whether or not Carlisle's Lv 6 experience will shine through.

After their draw at Oldham, it seems Hawcoat may be welcoming back players that were missing in their early fixtures, with Aldwinians the visitors this weekend they will be hopeful of a win against a side that has failed on the road so far.

Bolton welcome Silloth to Avenue Street for just the 4th meeting between the two sides. Bolton hold the upper hand over their visitors and will be looking for a rounded performance after their dismal showing against Carlisle.

Trafford MV make their first ever trip to visit Upper Eden. The gravediggers are well known for being able to turn over most teams at home, but in recent years their home form has dropped. Perhaps Trafford can keep up their good start to their first season in lv 7 and pick up their 3rd win of the campaign.

Finally, Littleborough travel to Workington, who according to reports from De La Salle are a strong and resilient side at home. The Zebras are still looking for their first W and after what will likely have been a physical encounter against Aspatria, can Littleborough stop them getting it?
