Football: Chester and District Sunday League

The first semi final in the Bill Gresty Memorial Trophy was played at Whitby, where the top two teams in Section C battled each other for the third time this season.

Once again though it was The Gunners who triumphed with a 3-0 win against rivals Jackswood  to reach the final thanks to a Jay Easton double and an own goal.
There were upsets in the quarter finals of the Josh Atkin League Cup as Section B teams overcame Section A opposition. Dee Rangers gained an impressive 3-1 win at Groves Woodlands. Ben Sache, Kev Gardner and Gary Wilson were on target for Dee, with Owen Rutter netting the consolation for Groves.

FC Mitchell Construction also came unstuck away to Custom House. An own goal gave Custom the lead at half time, only for James Sheridan to restore level terms on the hour.  

Jack McGovern then put Custom House 2-1 ahead on 75 minutes, and despite late pressure from Mitchell Construction, who hit the crossbar in the closing minutes, Custom held on for a well earned victory and a place in the semi finals against Section B rivals Axis United.

Axis were in league action themselves, and comfortably beat AFC Tattenhall 8-1 in the C.D.Vale Brickwork Section B. Jordan Fulton and Josh Gannon both netted twice, with Matt Booth, Dom Harper, Jonny Morgan and Joe Rigby also getting in on the act. Sean Weatherby netted Tattenhall's consolation.

Upton YC and Waverton Centurion fought out a 2-2 draw at Wealstone. Kyle Stoddart and James Maloney netted for the Centurions, who had a last minute goal disallowed. Luke Finch bagged both goals for Upton.
