Mossley go top after win over Groomsport
However, they’re well aware it’s early days yet, especially considering Bangor Amateurs and Colin Valley both hover just two points adrift with two games in hand.
Mossley reached the summit thanks to Saturday’s two goal success at Groomsport.

It’s not an easy place to go and this was their first league defeat of the season.
“But, even more pleasing, as an ex-goalkeeper, is the clean sheet - the first since I came back to the club.”
Groomsport looked lively in the opening quarter without really threatening, instead it was Mossley’s Lee Graham making it five goals in his last three games, accelerating onto Gareth McKinney’s incisive pass.
Strike partner Terry Lyness added his tuppence worth with Mossley’s second at the start of the second half.
The return of Kyle Harper added stability to the back four, where Kyle Crowe turned in a man of the match performance, further back than usual, at left-back.
