DESPITE the continued postponements of non-league football matches even after the November lockdown came to an end, it’s still been a busy couple of weeks for Northern Premier League side City of Liverpool FC.

Three new players arrived at the club over the past fortnight, and the team also progressed in the FA Trophy thanks to a dramatic 2-1 win in the first round proper against Buxton.

The cancellation of games in the Northern Premier League, and across much of non-League and grassroots football, raised doubts as to whether the 2020-21 season would be completed at this level.
