THE past two weeks have seen Telegraph suffer a dip in form, but on Sunday, they re-discovered their touch, and produced the goods with a 5-0 victory over Riverside.

The Childer Thornton side had Joe Skinner and Jamie Maddocks on the mark, in an entertaining tussle, but the leaders' greater firepower proved conclusive as replies from Rob Cottrell, Ian Cross, Paul Ellison, Jay Roberts and John Lloyd secured the points.

Also through to the next round, are Victoria Colts Seniors who emerged 3-0 victors from their encounter with Towers Liscard.

Despite goals from James McAllister and Dave Berry, extra time was Bronze's undoing after they went down 4-2 against Bierhaus.

The same fate befell Wallasey Athletic, who gave it their best shot against Allport Ath. Before losing 5-3 in the extra period after 90 minutes hadd produced a 3-3 stalemate.

Ace marksman, Chris Gear, weighed in with a hat trick but finished on the losing side as MSC Eastham finished second best in a 7-3 defeat by Cavendish.
