THE Chester Junior and Mini League resumed last weekend with plenty of goals.

In the Under 14s, Upton JFC beat Westminster Park 6-1 after conceding early on, rallying with goals by Luke Finch (3), Justin Ryan (2) and Stuart Wilson. MoM: Josh Moffat.

Chester Nomads beat Upton JFC 7-0 in the U12s with goals from Kai Wolfe (3), Callum Bowness, Matty Pickett, James Huxley and Louis Moss. MoM was Mike Robinson.

JFC Boughton proved too strong for visitors Westminster Park in the U12s as they ended the first period of play 6-0 up and added two more after the interval. Scorers were Ryan Farrell (4), Joshua Atkin, Matthew Wait, Jack Bowler and Lewis Burgess.

Chester Nomads hosted in-form Pulford FC. Both teams played well but the visitors were clinical and won 5-0.

Tattenhall JFC beat battling Chester Nomads 9-0, Stewart Sadler and Lewis Jones scoring hat-tricks.

At the top, Upton JFC had a tight encounter with Blacon Youth before clinching a 3-1 victory. With AFC Waverton's fixture off, Upton moved three points clear at the top.

Pulford FC met Newton Athletic and confirmed their form by hitting nine goals through MoM Paul Golborne (4), Joe Benson (2), Chris Simmonds (2) and Danny Ting.

All eyes were on the big game between AFC Waverton and Great Sutton, which ended with Waverton on top 6-1.

Blacon Youth met Malpas & District but Damian Mowley, Liam Bradley and Adam Stenning goals couldn't stop Malpas winning 5-3.

Chester Nomads U15s had their sights on top spot as they took three points against Tattenhall. Goals from Matty Smith (3), Michael Kelly (2) and Andy Coates plus a fine performance from MoM Rob Fitzgerald left the top teams looking over their shoulders.

With leaders Bretton Super Saints drawing at home with Blacon Youth, Westminster Park had only one thing on their minds. Malpas & District hadn't read the same script in this physical eight-goal thriller, with Malpas reduced to 10 players late in the second half and Park equal-ising in extra time to secure a share of the points. Scorers for Westminster Park were Joe Armitage, Dave Artell and new signing Nathan Green (2), with Adam Cowey MoM.

Sam Bourne scored a hat-trick for the visitors and Ryan Stevenson added the fourth. Malpas's MoM was Ben Edge.

A rain-affected pitch couldn't stop Newton putting eight past Tarvin Athletic at Barrow.

The first group stage of the U10s competition is now two-thirds of the way through and the standard is improving.

Chester Nomads Wolves visited Blacon Youth who won 5- 2, although the score did not reflect the effort put in by Wolves, who had Joshua Duckworth and Oliver Green on target.

An improving Westminster Park Warriors reversed the score in this fixture from a couple of weeks ago, and claimed their first win of the season at Upton Jaguars 5-0, with goals from Hal Wilson (2), Jake Venables and MoM Duaine Meacock (2).

In Group B, the two teams vying for the second spot came head to head as Tattenhall entertained Westminster Park Wanderers in a thriller. Park scored first with Tattenhall responding. Two goals from MoM Jack Nuttall allowed the Wanderers to pull ahead before a tremendous effort from Tattenhall pulled it back to 3-2. But Wanderers hung on.

Newton Hawks could not quite break down well-organised Blacon Tigers, who won 5-1. Their goals came from Ryan Cheswick (2), Alan Curl, Conner Corfe and new boy Dylan Foster in the last 30 seconds. Jack White scored the consolation goal for the Hawks.

Group C saw Westminster Park Hornets travel to Newton Eagles for a 2-2 draw. Two goals were scored by the respective MoMs, Michael Bar-croft for the Hornets and Sam Alexander for the Eagles. Upton Pumas were beaten 2-1 by improving Lache Park, Jake Steeland scoring for Upton and Declan McHugh and Lloyd Smith for Park. Top team Chester Nomads were given a tough game by Waverton, edging it 4-3.

The first games were played in the second group stage of the Under Nines Cup and Shield competitions. In the Cup, Chester Nomads hosted in-form Castrol Athletic and although they produced some good football, they lost 3-1.

Westminster Park Lions travelled to Newton Athletic but just couldn't get their form together and were beaten 6-2. Patrick Burke and Yuseph Kahlifa scored their goals.

Unbeaten Saughall Colts hosted Upton Panthers who edged the game by the odd goal in five, thanks to Harrison Vare (2) and Callum Berry, but not before Saughall had fought back from 2-0 down with strikes by Nathaniel Wong and Jake Jones. Jordan Rogers was Saughall's MoM.

Upton Pumas turned in a spirited show at JFC Boughton. After a goalless first half, Jack Howell, Jack Davies and Jordan Davies netted for Boughton with Dean Goring scoring a late reply for the Pumas. Boughton's MoM was Jamie Haddock.

In the Shield, Lache Park found Upton Jaguars too strong for them, despite a battling display from MoM Craig Smith.

Chester Nomads Colts were beaten by a Westminster Park Tigers team running into top form. Goals from Yuseph Bakir, James Fowles, Jack Cox and MoM James Bowle secured the win. Colts keeper Michael Webb was exceptional to keep his side in touch, but MoM was attacker Liam Amos.

Castrol Celtic player Lewis Halpin scored twice and there was a debut goal from Lewis Peacock in a 3-0 win against Tattenhall. MoM for Celtic was Thomas Hamblin.

Waverton visited promising newcomers Upton Bobcats and their win included a hat-trick by Scott Fletcher.

Jack Meadows scored the only goal to earn Saughall Colts victory over Westminster Park Lions in the U8s, whose MoM was Elliot Rollins. Credit must go to keeper James Kalaher and defenders Joe Dean and Bradley Pope for ensuring the Colts kept their first clean sheet.

In tough conditions, Chester Nomads cruised to a 5-0 win over Waverton B with goals by Harry Kilorran, MoM Charlie Mann (2), Sam Roscoe and Cameron Black.

JFC Boughton had a resounding 10-0 win at Waverton B in the U7s.
