The Capitol Cup 1st round took centre stage and saw plenty of goals and a few upsets, plus penalty shoot-outs deciding two of the fixtures.

Shore Villa Argyle led for a long time thanks to Jordan McAteer opening the scoring, but Jack Barrow levelled matters at 1-1 for Liscard Brazil, to send the game to a spot-kick decider, which Liscard won 4-3 to progress in the competition.

Bronze Wallasey Wanderers were also taken to penalties due to Joey Robinson grabbing a very late equaliser for NB The Tide FC in a great 2-2 encounter that also saw Frankie Ward score for the Tide. They then won the tie 3-1 as they were more clinical from the spot.

FC Greasby beat 1 st division rivals PLCCFC 4-0 as Dylan Sharpe fired a fine hat-trick, with Paddy Killen completing the scoring against their higher-grade opponents.

CV FC won a feisty affair versus Great Float FC as Matty Swannick, Zack Eachus and Sean Mooney netted in this 3-2 success, with Logan Lynchy and Ethan McEnore bagging the replies.

Cheshire Vikings overwhelmed the hard-working FC Parkview courtesy of a 12-2 result in which both Ben Ryan and George Brennan scored trebles and Jason Rigby and Orlando Brennan both hit doubles, with Pascal Igbe and Luke Hardwick adding singles.

Despite Will Foreshaw (2) and Dan Schoon netting for Bebington Park, they were eclipsed by Trident, who ran out 6-3 winners thanks to Tom Mulryan netting twice and Michal Mocha, Jack Simpson, Sam Bonner, and Stephen Teale all scoring one apiece.

The overdue First Division Cup 1st round tie resulted in a 4-2 victory for Vineyard as they beat Finnigan FC thanks to goals from Connor Jackson (2), Lewis Hansford, and Jason Jackson in an even encounter. Hitting the replies was Josh Bonner with a brace of goals.
