Brewers march on at top
The Brewers continued their fine start to the season, and maintained their three-point lead at the top, with a 4-0 victory over Burscough at Eton Park on Saturday.

Christian Moore headed Albion in front with less than two minutes on the clock, a Terry Henshaw header made it 2-0 soon after, and second half goals from Aaron Webster and Alan Bailey completed another thoroughly convincing victory.

Tuesday 21st September 2001 - Brewers 2 Hucknall Town
Dale's wonder goal
An unbelievable goal from Dale Anderson brought to life an otherwise run-of-the-mill Eton Park clash with Hucknall Town on Tuesday night. Leading thanks to Alan Bailey's goal early in the first half, that looked likely to be the only goal of the game, until Anderson picked the ball up inside the Hucknall half and beat six visiting defenders, before slotting home what already looks sure to go down as goal of the season.

Brewers edge tight clash
Albion just edged a close contest against one of the best footballing sides seen at Eton Park in recent times. Jason Kavanagh blasted the Brewers in front with a superb 25-yard strike early in the first half, and Alan Bailey notched a debut goal to make it 2-0 before half time. Visitors Vauxhall Motors made the home side sweat, pulling a goal back 20 minutes from time.

Saturday 8th September  2001 - Marine 1 Brewers 1
Albion settle for a point
The Brewers stay top of the league thanks to, of all people, Bishop Auckland, who scored a late equalizer in their game with Lancaster City. Albion could only manage a point from their own game at Marine, Steve Evans opening the scoring for the Brewers but the home side hit back early in the second half. New signing Alan Bailey made his debut with a substitute appearance near the end.

Brewers run riot at Frickley
The goals continue to come thick and fast, although a 5-0 scoreline at Frickley Athletic flattered the Brewers somewhat. Neil Glasser opened the scoring in the first half, and Sean Farrell's overhead kick made it 2-0 on the stroke of half time, before late goals from Darren Stride (2) and super-sub Andy Garner completed the rout.

Brewers go top after Trinity win
Two first half goals from Dale Anderson gave the Brewers a seemingly comfortable cushion at Eton Park, but two Trinity goals in quick succession stunned the home fans. Darren Stride restored home advantage again and added his second to complete a 4-2 scoreline which sees the Brewers go top of the UniBond Premier Division.
