THE weather-delayed Round One tie of the Carl Brown Memorial Trophy finally went ahead as Higher Fold hit top form with a 2-1 home win over Three Crowns A.
Steve Ashbrooke put Fold in front on 25 minutes and Jody Holt increasing the lead in the second half. Jamie Shepherd hit back two minutes from time but Fold managed to hold on and book their place in the next round.
In Division Two Courts went joint top of the table with a 4-0 home win over Fir Tree Rangers Reserves. Stuart Pickup put the home side ahead and three goals at ten minute intervals starting on the hour mark from Craig Sweeney, Matt Disley and Shaun Priest provided a welcome goal difference boost.
This coming Saturday sees Division One champions Higher Fold set to come face to face in the Redwaters Coronation Cup quarter final against hot favourites and holders, Kersal Vale.
There is also the Round Two tie staged between Rope and Anchor and Horns Inn on the same Saturday that Courts and Leigh Avenue contest a semi final.
Two quarter finals are set to be played, AFC Limelight against Moonraker in the Davenport Cup and Asda Golborne at home to Atherton Royal in the Sharman Cup.
