GRANGE Sports are through to the third round of the Northern Cup.

The Warrington and District League side, who visit Formby-based Sacre Coeur as a reward, defeated Witton Albion Reserves 1-0 with an excellent performance in Saturday's delayed tie.

A game which had been postponed numerous times was well worth the wait.

Grange dominated early on, not allowing their opponents to settle, and caused problems all over the field.

They deservedly took the lead through a rare goal from Alan Dickinson, heading in from a set piece.

Grange defended resolutely as Witton desperately tried to pull back the goal.

Meanwhile, Winwick defeated Daten thirds 5-1 in Warrington and District League Division Two.

Rob Quillian gave Winwick the lead after 15 minutes with a great solo effort.

He doubled the cushion on the hour mark and Luke Jamson made it 3-0 shortly after.

Quillian completed his hat-trick with a deflected strike.

Daten scored a consolation late on with a well-struck free kick before Quillian bagged his fourth to complete a St Valentine’s Day massacre.

Monk Sports also hit the net five times, conceding only once, at home to Grange Sports Reserves in Division Four.

A Tom Wardman equaliser meant Monks went in at half time 1-1 after Michael Wharton had initially given Grange the lead.

An early goal in the second half from Reg Foy was followed by two further goals from Tom Riley and one from sub Matt Davies to give Monks the points.
