Season 2023-24 - Review Week Twenty Three 25th February 2024

Report compiled by Tom Potter League press officer
Yet again the council closed all grass facilities on a Thursday which resulted many games to be postponed and causing a backlog of league fixtures and cup competitions to be delayed.
However, three cup fixtures did take place on Astro surfaces to help some competitions to progress.
Wirral District FA Junior Cup semi-finals - Alas it was a bad day in the Wirral District FA Junior Cup semi-finals as both league representatives bowed out in defeats. Shore Villa Athletic were 3-2 ahead until the final minutes thanks to goals from Paul Reddington and a brace from Phil Whitley, only to concede a late leveller and then lose the penalty shoot out 6-5 versus Mersey Clipper Vets.
North West Harriers were also eliminated when losing 3-1 versus Higher Beb Kelma.
First Division Cup 2nd round - The only other fixture played was the First Division Cup 2nd round fixture between One O’clock Gun and Finnigan FC that produced a great game and saw One O’clock Gun blast Finnigan FC out of the competition with an 8-1 victory, described as men against boys by the losing team. First half goals from Paul Finn, Ben Holmes and a double from Jamie Edwards eased the Gun into a 4-0 half time lead and a second half treble from the returning Morgan Galer, plus a single from Leighton Clarke proved too much for Finnigan FC, who only had a consolation effort from John Pomphrett to reduce the arrears.
