Also through go Congleton Athletic after they beat Poynton’s ECL side 3-1 at Back Lane. It was far from straight forward for the home team though as they survived a disallowed goal and a missed penalty. James Hewitt scored twice and Jack Higginbotham a third for Athletic with Andy Buckley on target for the visitors .
Wilmslow Sports made short work of Congleton Town’s reserve team winning 4-0 away from home . Bobby Fletcher scored a hat-trick with Mike Cain adding a fourth from the penalty spot.
