CHESTER Nomads claimed the Division One runners-up spot after beating Newton 4-0.

Charlie Mann was a hat-trick hero, helped by Danny Delgardo for a side who completed their programme with the best defensive record in all three divisions.

Helsby rounded off their campaign defeating a young West Kirby & Wasps outfit by the same margin.

Leading marksman Matty Johnson bagged a brace which was supplemented by Dean Walker as Jacob McLaughlin and James Stephenson replied for Kirby.

Cammell Laird 1907 Reserves (Rikki Neil, Paul Tosney) and Heswall (Andy Kingan, Chris Lea) shared four goals at the Northwest Construction Stadium. The point made the home side safe from relegation.

Winners of this season's Liverpool CFA Youth Cup are Litherland REMYCA, and congratulations go to them.

Litherland withstood early pressure before taking a 24th-minute lead with a well-taken goal by Ewan McEvitt.

A win at Helsby Reserves would have clinched Division Three promotion for Mersey Royal but, despite a Charlie McGuiness strike, they had to settle for a point from a 1-1 draw which saw Ryan Swift netting for the hosts.

The result meant that Royal's fate rested on Saturday's encounter between rivals Heswall Reserves and already promoted champions Bootle Reserves.

Alessandro Maletta scored both goals for Chester Nomads Reserves in their 2-2 draw with Rainhill Town Reserves, who had Craig Cunningham bag a brace.

For the second time in a matter of weeks, Darren Pritchard struck the only goal in a cup final to ensure that his Ashville side picked up a piece of coveted silverware.

The Haworth & Gallagher Bowl final at Cammell Laird 1907 saw Ashville take on Maghull Reserves, whose James Steele almost made an early breakthrough only for Aiden Dickenson race to the edge of the box to clear.

With 67 minutes gone Ashville scored the game’s defining goal.

Sam Hunt controlled the ball on the right and when his cross was smacked against the bar by Leon Jones, Pritchard was on hand to steer the ball into the net.

Chester Nomads rounded off an excellent campaign by repeating last season's Chester & District FA Senior Cup triumph when defeating Upton AA at Chester FC's Lookers Vauxhall Stadium.

Already consigned to Division Two, Blacon YC ended their Division One campaign with a flourish thanks to a 4-0 win at Cammell Laird 1907 Reserves who themselves completed their programme just above the relegation zone.

Alan Dorrian led the way with a double and he was supported by Aaron Hinchcliffe and Sam Davies.

Double cup winners, Ashville, visited Redgate Rovers aware that only a victory of 10 goals or more would see them gain promotion to the top sphere at the expense of that day’s opponents.

As it was, despite taking the lead through Sam Hunt, they had to be content with a 2-2 scoreline that will see Rovers take their place in Davison One in August.

Craig Blackwell and Paul Leamy were on target for the hosts, while Lee Healey netted Ashville’s second.
