Jan 26 2012 by Paul Wheelock, Chester Chronicle

IT WAS an afternoon to remember for the Chester and Deeside Ramblers ladies first teams on Saturday.

Chester ripped up the form book to win 3-2 at high-flying Timperley with goals from Claire Gledhill and Nia Hughes (2).

Ramblers, meanwhile, won 1-0 at home to Leeds University with a Vicky Walton strike and a star contribution from youngster Emily Andrews.

Chester’s struggling men’s first team lost 4-3 at home to top-of-the-table Alderley Edge, with Bart Ryan-Beswick, Pete Evans and Simon Jones offering the replies.

Chester 6ths went down 4-0 at home to Macclesfield 4ths but the 7ths won 2-1 at Deeside Ramblers 7ths thanks to Ryan Thomas and Matt Pickett.

Ramblers 5ths (Matt Allen, Mark Goodyer 2) were 3-2 winners at home to title rivals Runcorn.

Goalkeeper Chris Hales could not save Ramblers 3rds (Tom Millington, Piers Ashworth) from losing 5-2 at home to Brooklands 4ths.

Richard Wyatt and Mark Jones were on target for Ramblers 6ths in their 5-3 defeat at Runcorn 2nds.

Fresh from scoring eight in the 18-0 mauling of Winnington Park Badgers, Dan Verity hit a hat-trick as Ramblers Badgers triumphed 5-1 at home to Neston South Wirral Badgers.

Ben Maudsley and Will-Dood Moore completed the scoring.

Ramblers Beavers (Harry Armitage 2, Freddie Cheshire, Frazer Smellie) won 4-3 at Winnington Park Beavers.
