IT PROVED to be an afternoon to forget for the trio of locals sides who compete in West Cheshire League Division One.

Vauxhall Motors lost 1-0 at home to Mossley Hill Athletic while Ellesmere Port and Willaston also went down to defeats on Saturday.

Mark Jones reduced the deficit as Port fell 3-1 at Southport Trinity.

A Trevor Worsley effort, meanwhile, amounted to no more than a consolation as Willaston, fresh from their Cheshire Amateur Cup exit, were well beaten 4-1 at home by Marine Reserves.

Capenhurst Villa enjoyed better fortunes.

They ran out 5-1 winners at Maghull Reserves to move up to seventh in Division Two.

Mike Urmston bagged a brace with Mark Ryan, Cameron Forster and Lewis Walters sharing the rest of the Villa strikes.

Ellesmere Port Reserves made it an unwanted club double as they lost 2-1 at Upton AA Reserves in Division Three.

Danny Ramsay got Port’s goal.

Neston Nomads won 2-1 at Merseyside Police thanks to Rob Cottrall and Alex Clare.

Just the one game survived the big freeze in the Ellesmere Port & District Sunday League.

It came in Division One as Sutton Melfix (C Williams 2, J Cooper, M Livens) secured a 4-2 home win over Wirral Hundred (R Wellsbury 2).
