20th MARCH As
the league moves to the business end of the season, a number of Cup Finalists
and promotion candidates emerge. In the N W Champions Cup, Irlam lost by the
solitary goal in their bid to retain the cup against Greyhorse from the Hyde
League. Goals from Colin Snelgrove and Gary Bailey saw Charlestown CYC reach
their second Manchester FA Cup Final in a penalty-shoot out with Chaddy End and
now face Tiger Moth in the Final on the 17th April. In the league’s
cup competitions, Queensway booked their quarter final place in an extra time
win over Parkwyddn, Charlestown’s Matty Campbell 2, Staines and O’Gorman
scored the 4 in their tough tie against Clifton and Clarendon reversed the
recent league result by beating Weaste United 4-1 and now face Chestnut Lodge in
the Eccles Challenge Final. In the only Premier fixture, Tiger Moth took the
points with goals from Girgenti, Lynch and a couple from Dave Carlisle. Both G C
J and Priory kept up the promotion challenge with comprehensive wins at the top
of the 1st Division. Chestnut Lodge and Tophouse Rangers have secured
promotion from the 3rd, and their league clash next week is likely to
decide who are champions. Already promoted as 4th Division Champions,
Clarendon can watch the battle for second spot with interest over the next few
weeks. MFA
