ONLY a handful of games survived the weather this weekend – but there was a feast of goals and plenty of action in those that were played.

Blacon Thistle, of the CWFL, entertained Upton AA Reserves, of the West Cheshire League, in the Chester FA Challenge Cup.

In a stunning game of football, Thistle ran out winners on penalties, 4-2, after the game had finished 7-7 after extra time.

Joe Henry hit a brace with Warren Roberts, Ross Broadbent and a last minute equaliser for Gary Roberts to force the game into extra-time.

Chris Williams and a second for Gary Roberts then forced the tie into penalties.

The heroics for Thistle did not stop there.

Goalkeeper Jordan Sharpe made two fine saves in the shoot-out to give the Blacon side their place in the third round and Sam Henry converted his penalty to hit the back of the net for the first time since his 13-month lay-off through injury.

CWFL Division Two side Clubbies also needed extra-time and penalties to see off their Premier Division rivals Uberlube.

With the game finishing 2-2 at full-time and extra-time, Clubbies held their nerve and ran out 6-5 winners from the spot.

In the Wirral FA Amateur Cup semi-final, CWFL side Woodchurch Athletic put in a fine performance and were unlucky to be on the wrong end of a 6-4 scoreline against West Cheshire high-flyers Vauxhall Motors FC.

Tom Harris (2), James Harris and Anthony Anglesey were the Woodies marksmen.

The CWFL Queensferry Sports Premier Division has new leaders after Lache FC beat Lodge Bar 2-1 thanks to goals from Tom Bailey and Liam McGovern.

Illya Haycock replied with a penalty for Lodge.

This win move Lache a point clear of Birkenhead with a game in hand after their game was called off.

Christleton Celtic made it four wins from their last four with a 4-2 win over Kelsall, Jack McPaul, Jamie Davies, Joe Flynn and Danny Griffiths their scorers
