A GOAL from Ryan Broadhead saw Division One leaders Coachman to victory against favourites Saxon's in the Mid Cheshire Sunday League Cup.

More bad news for Saxon's came when St Joseph's forged clear at the top of the Premier Division. It makes the Middlewich Town Supporters v Saxon's game this weekend of even greater significance.

After nine successive defeats and conceding an average of four a game, First Division Gladstone got off the mark with a four-goal walloping of Old Star.

Barn Owl beat Broadhurst and drew level with them at the top of the Second Division.
