TITLE outsiders, Newton, maintained interest in the race for the Carlsberg West Cheshire League's Division One championship, after they gleaned maximum spoils from a hard fought 2-1 result over Upton AA.

Goals from Steve Jones and Jerome McIntyre sealed the issue for the fifth placed Frankby outfit, who are handily poised to mount a serious challenge, provided they can win their games in hand. The Chester side's goal came from Simon Andrews.

Second-placed Runcorn Town knocked local rivals, Halton, out of the Pyke Cup in midweek, but the latter came back to bite them in Saturday's league clash, and posted a shock 2-1 win, thanks to efforts from Gary Tyrell and Liam Page.

Free scoring Helsby put Blacon YC through the mincer in a 9-0 rout, highlighted by a James Bignall hat trick, but despite goals from Paul Allen and Paul Hollifield, Christleton went down 3-2 at home to a spirited Marine Res. Karl Bergquist(2) and Mike Brown netted for the visitors.

Division Two leaders, Southport Trinity, had Callum Kelly, Chris Pardoe and Anthony Naylor on the mark in their 3-0 eclipse of Bronze Social.

Three goal Barry Coventry made a telling contribution in Mossley Hill Ath's 4-0 triumph at Mallaby and a smart double from Perry Black inspired New Brighton to a 3-0 victory at Grange Ath.

Fragile defending from Blacon YC Res paved the way for their 14-0 drubbing at the hands of Prescot Cables Res in Division Three.

Chris McGann had a field day with seven goals while Sam Gifford plundered a four timer. Runcorn Town Res eroded Hale's lead at the top to a single point, after efforts from Jason Carey and Aaron Brown secured a 2-1 result at Richmond Raith Rovers.

Christleton Res stayed in contention following a 6-1 win at Capenhurst Villa Res. Nick Cushing(2) Graeme Davidson, Danny Carter, Steve Morgan and Robbie McDowell were the scorers.

Two goals from Alan Jones counted for nothing, as Ellesmere Port Res. were sank by replies from Manor Ath.'s Paul Sanderson, Lee Williams and Martyn Canham.

Paul Taylor fired a three goal salvo as Belfry trounced Marshalls 6-1 in the Youth Division and Danny Whalley follwed suit with three for Widnes Town who raced five points clear at the top after they won 5-1 against Sao Paulo.

Congratulations to West Kirby, who took to the field as Cheshire County FA, and progressed to the 3rd round of the Northern Counties FA Cup, after goals from Lee Gibson, Andy Barker and Mike Burke consigned the Westmorland FA (Kendal Town) to a 3-1 defeat.

On the District scene, two goals from Robbie Courtenay steered Cammell Laird Res. into the Wirral & District FA Senior Cup semi-finals after a 2-0 win at Vauxhall Motors Res. Castrol Social reached their second semi-final of the season after they beat Willaston 2-1 with goals from Mark Ryan and Danny Dobbins while big guns, Heswall, emerged 3-2 victors from a tight contest with Ellesmere Port. Scott Mason, Adam Barrigan and Ian Burrows obliged for Ged Peacock's charges.

Two goals from Phil Davies were supplemented by singles from Richard Jones, Sean Robinson and Jordan Whelan, as Marshalls stormed into the Haworth and Gallagher Bowl semi-finals after they overcame Capenhurst Villa 5-0.

Extra time was needed before Chester Nomads edged West Kirby Res. 5-4 and the extra period was also required to seal Ashville's 2-1 result over Maghull Res.

Maghull's senior side were second best against Waterloo Dock in the Liverpool County FA Challenge Cup fourth round and suffered a 3-1 reversal.

A Liam Sumner hat trick helped St.Sebastians to a 7-0 win against Mount Ath. in the County FA Youth Cup 4th round while Hale won 4-3 against King Charles in the County FA Intermediate Cup 5th round, courtesy of a goal apiece from Paul Ellison, Paul Hart, Andy Morgan and Gareth Docherty.
