BLACON Youth Club made it five wins in their last six West Cheshire League Division One games when they came from behind to beat Southport Trinity 5-3 on Saturday.

James Pierce, Matty Cross, Matty Pierce, Jamie Rogers and Ollie Tong shared the strikes for Blacon.

Upton AA stretched their winning run to three matches with a 2-1 triumph at home to Marshalls.

Todd Reid opened the scoring with a vicious low drive from outside of the box before Simon Andrews made the game safe by stabbing home from close range after superb build-up play from Andy Lloyd and John Farrell.

Paul Sweeney was unfortunate not to add a third goal for Upton, for whom Dinu Maghici continues to impress.

Helsby (Ian Cox 2, Wes Huizer 2, James Edwards) reached the final of the Compete Focus Shield with a 5-3 victory at home to Belfry.
