IN THE second full week of games for the whole league there were no real shocks but plenty of goals on offer.
In Division One, Croxteth are now the pacesetters with three wins out of three. A 7-0 thrashing of Kingsley United at home was their latest success, Bobby Ryan hitting a brace.
Old Holts go second, also with nine points after a 2-0 home win over BRNESC, Ryan Edwards and Brad Senar with the all-important goals.
Warbreck move down from top spot to third after a 2-2 draw with South Liverpool Reserves, Paul Wilson and Phil Mason netting for South, Danny Flynn and Neil Humle for Warbreck.
Halewood Town are fourth after a tight but vital 1-0 win at NELTC, Steven Coyne with the winner.
Roma are fifth after a 5-3 win at Angus Village. Dave Cooney scored his fourth of the season while Ryan Whitcombe and Carl Richards hit braces for Roma, Mitchelle McNally netted a double for Angus Village, but in vain.
Surprise of the day must be the 2-0 win by Copperas Hill at Leyfield, Aaron Shields and Shaun Perry with the goals for Copperas.
In the Premier Division, APH went berserk at Lucas winning 8-2 in a thrilling game. Mike Douglas scored five in the game aided by Mick Hannaway and John Lally. APH move up to sixth place with the victory.
Cheshire Lines gave leaders Waterloo Dock the shock of their lives leading 2-0 at the break. They eventually had to settle for a 2-2 draw in a highly-entertaining game, John Hagadorn with both the Cheshire Lines goals. In the second-half the Dock applied all the pressure and it told as they scored a superb reply through a John Poland free-kick and equalised via Anthony Battle.
The game then got stretched and both sides wasted chances aplenty to take maximum points.
Page Celtic are off at last with a 2-0 triumph over Stoneycroft to move out of the bottom places. Steven Burrows with a well-taken drive and Mark Goulding with a tap-in after the goalkeeper had fumbled earned the win.
Essemmay and St Aloysius drew 1-1, Steven Parle for Essemmay whilst Shaun Murphy replied for the Aloys.
Ford Motors and Old Xaverians also shared the spoils in a 1-1 draw at SFX School. Matty Williams scored for the Xavs, Andy Appleton netted for Ford.
Finally, South Sefton Boro go third after a John Maguire strike (his fifth of the campaign) ensured all the points at REMYCA United.
