CHILDER Thornton outfit Halfway House pulled off a major shock after they overcame fancied Riverside 3-0 in the Pyke Cup first round.

It was a day to remember for the minnows, who saluted the efforts of two-goal Joe Skinner as a key factor in Sunday's triumph. Johnny Cable was the other marksman.

On the League scene, consistent performers, Kent FC, posted an impressive 6-2 result over Port Sunlight following an entertaining Premier Division encounter.

Star of the show was hat-trick hero and man-of-the-match Jonathan Parkinson.

Further contributions from Colifa Kamara, Paul Davies and player-manager Steve English cemented a job well done.

Following a spate of disappointing results, Bronze returned to winning ways but were given a good run for their money by Star Ozzys.

In the end, efforts from Richard Hughes and Rob Nugent were enough for the Wallasey side to record a 2-1 win.

Darren Tennant couldn't have got off to a better start in his debut game for Telegraph who beat luckless MSC Eastham 11-0.

A five-goal return was a just reward for his efforts. Regular marksman, Kyle Williams weighed in with a hat trick while further goals from Dave Favager (2) and Jimmy Breheny completed the statistics.

The improving Victoria Colts Seniors scored through Charlie Short and held opponents, Grace Villa at bay for long periods before the Ellesmere Port side got the upper hand and ran out 4-1 victors.

A double from Scott Rowley was supplemented by singles from Stev Jones and Mark Roberts.
