Last season’s finalists in The Wirral Premier Cup, New Ferry Rangers, have dropped down to the Amateur cup after suffering a 4-1 home defeat to Rockpoint last week.
When they faced each other again at the same venue, this time it was the turn of Rangers (Adam Larway) to take the spoils and put their name in the hat for the next round with the normal regulation time finishing all square at 1-1 before New Ferry advanced 4-3 on penalties.
Neston United (Kev Exell, Liam Peacock) also registered a 4-3 win on penalties after a 2-2 draw with Groves Woodland, to find a place in the last 16.
Efforts from Jack Cohen and Harry Firkins for Barcode FC cemented their place in round two after crushing The Vineyard FC 2-0.
JPL Jets flew into the draw for the next round, shooting down fellow league members Old Parks FC 5-0. Doing the damage were Carl Hamm, Sam Parker, Shawn Cherera, Liam McCrellis and Callum Burbidge.
A Tom Molloy brace for FC Prenton was enough to earn a 2-2 draw and take the tie on penalties 8-7 over Bromborough Town FC.
More success for clubs from The Houlihan’s Birkenhead Sunday Association Football League came from Wellington FC (Ben Dufton-Kelly, Nathan Leyland), who disposed of Wallasey Wanderers Parkfield 2-1.
Wirral Radio FC (Jack Gibson, Tom Williams) also had a narrow 2-1 win over Saughall FC (Ben Noble). Woodchurch Rovers romped home 8-0 against AFC Shaftes, with Ryan Thompson helping himself to a treble and further strikes from Callum McQuade, Ben Robinson, Daryl Hellon plus an own goal. The only negative result was Silva Athletic on a 4-0 reversal.
Premier Division action saw Woodchurch Hotel FC (Josh Dures, Mark Beech) joining Dock AFC and Rock Ferry Social at the helm, having played a game more, after registering a 2-1 win in Birkenhaed Park over Corsair FC (Alan Bull).
A Havey Sample brace supported by a Mason Piecey effort was just enough for Queens Park FC with a 3-2 scoreline at Beechwood FC (Rob Cull, Morgan Woods).
There was a first league win of the season for Great Float S&S, after they sank Neston Nomads 4-2.

Due to amateur cup ties, only one league game was possible in Division One. Bromborough Rake earned a straight fourth maximum points haul and still have a 100% record, but conceded their first goals of the season, in a fabulous game.

AFC Tima’s newly-found superb form keeps them in pole position in Division Three. On the scoresheet for the Tima lads were Phil Bibby and Mike Redgrift, who both bagged a pair, with David Turner notching the other, for a 5-1 win against Wallasey Village (Daniel Allen).
A solitary goal for AFC Rangers from Mark Fitzpatrick was enough to maintain their fine start to the new campaign and remain unbeaten in second spot, recording a narrow 1-0 win at AFC Raeburn.
