THE first round of the Pyke Cup got under way with Cammell Laird Reserves playing their second tie following a preliminary round win over West Kirby.
Laird’s good fortune continued as they went through on penalties 5-3 at Kirklands against a plucky Blacon Youth Club side. The teams finished all square at the end of extra time thanks to goals from Liard’s Kris Hesketh and Blacon’s player-manager Aden Shannon.
Ashville’s light continues to shine as they edged a tough encounter 2-1 at Christleton. Dave Rudge and Steve Connor scored for the visitors with Steve Finlay getting Christleton’s sole reply.
Maghull beat Southport Trinity 2-0 thanks to goals from Lee Tynan and Brad Smart.
Mossley Hill Athletic’s Jay Halligan had a day of mixed fortunes. He can be justifiably proud of claiming a hat-trick against Ellesmere Port but will have been hugely disappointed that his side still lost the tie 4-3. A brace apiece from Danny McNicholson and Ryan Nicholl did the damage.
Newton had high hopes of another good run on the Pyke Cup but will have to wait for another year, losing at home to Marine Reserves 3-1.
Jamie Hannah’s goal for the home side was bettered by scores from Karl Bergquist (2) and Peter Donnelly.
Upton Athletic Association will bemoan their fortune going down at home to Marshalls 3-2.
A brace from Tom Reid was scarcely consolation to goals from Marshalls Olli Roberts, Jay Nilsen and Joe Connolly. Vauxhall Motors Reserves scored all three goals in their 2-1 home defeat of Heswall. Mark Windslade scored both goals that counted for the Motormen. Chester Nomads edged a close fought encounter at Willaston, Kieron Smith scoring the only goal of the game.
In Division Two, newly crowned manager of the month continued to avoid the ‘curse’ of such an award by leading his AFC Bebington Athletic side to an impressive 0-1 win at Ashville Reserves, Joel Taylor on target.
