MES Ltd First Division

Two fixtures from the MES Ltd First Division saw a change of leaders again as PLCCFC won a seven-goal thriller versus Wallasey Wanderers 4-3, in which referee Rob Allen said it was a great game to officiate in. Scoring for the still unbeaten PLCCFC were Dan Hardman, Kieran Gregory, Danny Brown and Paddy Carpenter, with Connor Jackson, Macauley Lathom and Callum Williams bagging the responses.

A very even affair between Liscard Panthers and One O’clock Gun resulted in a 3-2 success for the Gun as Declan Wray and Leighton Clarke with a double netted. Clarkes first goal being a brilliant free kick, Curtis Ledsom-Robinson and Scott McMahon claimed the replies in a good game.

Moreton Alarms Supplies Second Division

AFC Shore Villa retained top spot in the Moreton Alarms Supplies Second Division when defeating Wallasey Wolves 2-1 due to an own goal and a single from Connor Flynn.

West Kirby Athletic moved into second place after a well-earned 2-1 success over Bromborough Athletic thanks to a fine double strike by Nathan Leyland, with an own goal being the only response.

Despite goals from Ben Gledhill and Joe Dhenin, Oxton Celtic went down 5-2 to Farmers Arms who had Liam Pitt netting four goals and Callum Hewitt one.

Shore Villa Athletic took the spoils against North West Harriers thanks to a 3-1 win in which an own goal and efforts from Jason Farrell and Kieran Jones sealed the points. The consolation was netted by Riley Jones for the home team.
