CWFL Doug Johnson Shield Cup action dominated the weekend fixtures, and it started on Friday night in the Doug Johnson Shield as Hooton Vets beat a stubborn Ellesmere Port Red Lions Vets 2-1.
Matt Bush netted for Red Lions, but a Dave Rudge double was enough for Hooton to progress.
The result of the day on Saturday will go to Capenhurst Villa Vets as they saw off Mersey Royal Vets 5-2.

Royal replied with a Craig Griffith penalty and an impressive strike from Anthony Cotgrave.
Tarvin Athletic Vets had Kevin Rogerson on target with a brace and with Robert Edge, Sean Taylor, Gordon Piggin, and Max Ashbury all grabbing singles, they progressed through to the next round at the expense of Ellesmere Port Town Vets who replied with goals from Simon Saunders, Rob Blackwell, and Daz Holmes.
