MIDWEEK ACTION.

Monday 29/4/24 Having registered their fifth win of the season, Ellesmere Port Town eased their way from the bottom rung of the Go2Day West Cheshire League's Division One table after efforts from Ben Summers (2) and Sam McNeill secured a 3-1 bragging rights victory at South Wirral neighbours, Capenhurst Villa, who had Aiden Hill in reply. The result demoted Heswall to bottom spot while the Port, with three games remaining are just a point adrift of Vauxhall Motors Res., who worryingly have already completed their fixtures, WRITES ERNIE MCDONALD.
Newly crowned champions, Mossley Hill Ath, completed their programme on a winning note, following a 3-1 decision over Chester Nomads, while fourth placed Newton celebrated a 3-0 win at second placed Maghull, with Joe Williams, Paddy Jones and Ryan Beigan on target.
In Division Three, efforts from Grove Ath.'s Jack Pickering, Ryan Maxwell and Joe Humphreys were matched by a fine hat trick from Poulton Vics' Jack Waddicar.
Monday's Youth Division action saw Cammell Laird 1907 assume pole position from Athletico Blues, when Charlie Rooke, Jack Gordon and Theo McDowell applied the finishing touches in a 3-0 win at West Kirby Utd. A Kieran Taylor double was supplemented by further efforts from Lucas Kennedy and Calvin Smith, as Litherland Remyca accounted for Maghull 4-3.
Tuesday 30/4/24
A smart double from Dom Waite inspired FC Kirkby to a 2-1 victory over Heswall U23's and consolidated his side's second placed positioning in the race for promotion from Division Three. Brad Geer netted for the hosts, and it was a night to savour for Maghull B who had Will Hoey and John Clarkson on the mark and those efforts settled the Youth Plate final 2-0 in their favour against Neston Nomads.
In the Youth Division, Athletico Blues, courtesy of a goal apiece from Liam Stevenson, Finnbar McGovern and Louie Donachie eclipsed South Liverpool 3-2 and that result took the Blues back to the top of the table.
Wednesday 1/5/24
Heswall with goals from Liam Grealis and Joel Robinson pulled off a 2-0 result over fellow Division One strugglers Ellesmere Port Town, which saw the Port return to bottom spot, but should Heswall and the Port each win one of their remaining fixtures, Vauxhall Motors Res. will be relegated.
Elsewhere in the top flight, efforts from Jack Ward and Josh Daily anchored Marshalls to a 2-0 win over Chester Nomads. Adil Mohammed's solitary strike earned Mossley Hill Ath. U23's maximum spoils from their clash with Higher Bebington Kelma, while honours were shared after goals from West Kirby's Ben Hawitt and Steve Abbott were negated by replies from Mallaby's Ellis Byrne and Paul Ellison. Despite a goal from Joe Summers, Aintree Villa Res., came up short against Maghull Res. who posted a 3-1 result thanks to replies from Nathan Moffitt (2) and Will Hoey.
Congratulations to Cammell Laird 1907 Res., who became Division Three champions in style and highlighted by a four goal salvo from Kieran Hughes, romped home 7-0 against West Kirby Res. Further efforts from Adam Larway, Leo Patton and Jayden Jones confirmed the scoreline. Respective marksmen in Ellesmere Port Town U23's 2-2 stalemate with next door neighbours Groves Ath., were Joe Hayes, James Gahame, Ben Roberts and Jack Sailes.

Thursday 2/5/24 A solitary Division Three fixture proved profitable for Capenhurst Villa Res. who won 4-2 at Great Sutton,

with Harley Morris, Terry Watts, Lewis Chapman and Reece Bridge hitting the target. John Skipsey and Joe Stephenson scored for the home side.
