Match day three saw the nets burst like we can’t remember before. Now it’s down to us to piece together a side worthy of being Saturday’s best.
The official National League North Team of the Weekend is out - the 11 starters, five subs and the top manager from the opening day has been picked.
We talk to those involved directly in the game to make sure our select side is on the money.
Managers, club officials and journalists help us to construct together a team who shone brightest.
