Hall are one of three teams battling for the two promotion spots and bowling has proved to be a real strength of the side, who head to Wavertree tomorrow.
Paul Jenkins finished with a superb six for 54 return in 21.5 overs during the eight-wicket success versus St Helens Town last time out and he was well supported by Carwyn Johnson (3-41) and James Hurlin (1-24).
Slater said: 'It was really comfortable and Paul Jenkins bowled an excellent spell, well supported by Carwyn and James. We've not played everyone just yet, but as in an overall attack it's definitely one of the best in the league.
'Ainsdale have a very good attack, so ours is up there.'
Matthew Jones (57 not out) and Slater (31 not out) led Hall to their latest success.
'I think one of those things over the last couple of weeks, if the top order aren't scoring runs, the middle order can all score runs,' added the skipper, who will welcome Finley Jenkins back into the line-up for tomorrow's away encounter.
Northop Hall will be looking to achieve their eighth triumph of the campaign tomorrow, but Slater is not anticipating an easy contest versus sixth-placed Wavertree. 'They are a good side and they are always a solid team,' he added. 'They can bat time if they need to.'
Hall Seconds will look to make the most of home comforts versus Wavertree Seconds.
It's about making a return to winning ways for Chirk in Shropshire League action tomorrow.
Following a decent spell in Division One, Liam Walker's side lost out by four wickets at Bomere Heath in their most recent encounter.
A better outcome will be the aim as Chirk host mid-table rivals Worfield Seconds tomorrow.
In Division Seven, Chirk Seconds pay a visit to Condover Seconds.
