Prescot Rangers made it four games without conceding a goal as they beat Chelwood Rangers 7-0 . Luke Daly netted a hat trick, Luke Barton two and Adam Wright also contributed. Elsewhere Woolton Sharks beat Chelwood Spartans 3-1. The weather helped Sharks score the first as a long range clearance from Tom Wilson took a bounce and loop over the keeper into the net. Sharks edged further ahead when Tom Wilson scored from the goal line. The second half the game was even and Chelwood pulled a late goal back through Alex Curry before Sharks responded and quickly restored their advantage through Nathan Christopher.
