After Saturday’s games, every team now has their first points on the board FC United lead the way with a 100% record, but face a tough trip to Ashton today Plenty of clubs looking to kick on from here… you just can’t beat Non-League football on a Bank Holiday Monday ⚽

Massive signing for the Tigers!

Games like these early in the season can be real turning points — exactly what teams need to get off and running.

Some big games today with Workington, Leek, Morpeth, Lancaster & Hebburn still searching for their first points. Leek host Morpeth & Lancaster take on Hebburn — meaning not all can get 3 points.

With FC United not in action today, Hednesford will look to maintain their perfect start & make it 3 wins in 3 at home to Workington. Meanwhile, Workington, Leek, Morpeth, Lancaster & Hebburn are still chasing their first points of the season.

The best day of the week… GAMEDAY! ⚽️ Which Northern Premier League match are you heading to today? Let us know!

@joshb0507 True, the sending off did help , but it’s a positive sign your team took full advantage and got the win. Hopefully, you can build on and back it up with a win on Saturday then onto tougher matches ahead

@TacticalRecruit Hopefully mate! Although against 10 men for 87 minutes so can't really judge just yet. We looked good tonight though!

Game Day 2 Plenty of action in the NPL tonight 🔥 Which fixture has caught your eye as the one to watch? Let us know 👇 #NPL #NonLeague

Plenty of time to turn things around – but FC United & Hednesford have built a perfect platform. For those struggling, the pressure’s already creeping in… Thoughts on tonight’s games?

After tonight’s games: FC United & Hednesford = 100% starts ✅ Lancaster, Hebburn, Leek, Workington = 0 from 2 ❌ Morpeth = 0 from 1 ❌ Early split emerging with 2 perfect records & 6 sides yet to get off the mark.

@joshb0507 Happy with that one lads? Hopefully the start of something good and turning Nethermoor into a fortress this season

@TacticalRecruit Fingers crossed for a lions win

Teams are starting to arrive 🚌 Team news in an hour — then all eyes on kick-off. You can’t beat game day! #NPL #NonLeague

NPL Weekend Wrap Ashton start strong Whitby snatch last-min winner at Workington ⏱️ Hyde net 1st goal of 25/26 – match-winner v Lancaster ⚽ Morpeth & Hebburn see red 🟥 Brig stun title hopefuls Guiseley Prescot 0-0 Stockton & Cleethorpes 0-0 Warrington Town – both close contest

🏆 Team of the Day – Saturday’s NPL Action Based on match reports, manager interviews & highlights. Thought we’d give it a go! GK Harker RB Gallimore CB Oliver CB Morgan LB Heywood CM Navarro CM Ennis CM Dixon ST McHale ST Tymon ST Scarborough

One of the best goalkeepers in the league, if not the best

@WorkyHub Great give that a listen. Good to see Ellis score on debut but shame to see him come off with an injury.

@TacticalRecruit Episode should be out later! Think a lot of lads had a good first half but no one I can pinpoint as having a good game throughout. Subs didn’t look great but should have a full squad for Stockton on Tuesday 🔴⚪️

1st half fine 2nd half abysmal think subs only made it worse. Still I’ll be optimistic and wait till Tuesday to worry 👍 If Whitby could put away their chances it would of been 7-1 hopefully we pick it up on Tuesday against Stockton

The NPL season kicked off this afternoon and had it all – a tense 0-0, red cards, some sides cruising to victory, and a late winning goal. If today’s anything to go by, we’re in for a lively season

Something we don’t dream of… A game day breakdown 🤦‍♂️ Only took the first match for a delayed kick-off

The start we all dream of
