House hit six in recovery mission

AFTER the shock of losing to basement boys Springbank, Halfway House got their Ashton Sunday League premier division title challenge back on track with an emphatic 6-1 win at Moston Labour Club.

On target for House were Rocky Siddall (two), John Parkinson, Gary Brooks, J Kelly and P Hewitt, while Jordan Thompson scored for Moston.

Bridge remain level on points with House at the top of the table after a 5-2 defeat of Springbank, who were unable to repeat their efforts of the previous week.

Mike King (two), Mick Fleming, Peter Kessell and Lee Cumpsty were Bridge’s marksmen, with Paul Lenihan and Dave Walker replying.

Improving Anglers made it two wins in as many weeks in division one.

James Eastman (two), M Buckley, D Jackson and A Scholes got the goals in a 5-3 defeat of Wellington, who missed the chance to go third in the table.

Jamie Pitt (two) and K Kershaw got the consolation goals.

Home Guard continue to impress and, inspired by Sam Cooke’s four-goal show, they swept aside Falconers 5-0.

Lee Smith got the other for the championship challengers.

In the second semi-final of the Vic Marsden Trophy, Dog and Partridge defeated Charlestown 3-2. See John Gilder’s Match of the Day.
