ASPATRIA have moved six points clear at the top of the Tesco Cumberland County League premier division.

Last Saturday they enjoyed a dominating 9-2 win over Silloth with goals from Craig Wilson (3), Richard Hodgson (2), Ben Gregory (2), Eddie Harrison and Darryl Creighton.

Cleator Moor Celtic went down 5-0 to Cockermouth for whom Keith Skillen, Martin Thompson, Garry Hudgson, John Smith and Dean Wainwright (2) got the goals.

Salterbeck bounced back from the dissapointment of the County Cup and beat Wigton Harriers 5-2.

The pick of the goals was Andrew Rowntree’s strike which could well be a contender for goal of the season.

Bransty progressed in the cup with a 5-2 victory over premier league side Whitehaven Miners.

John Ryan Milburn fired Miners in front and everything looked good after they have given up home advantage.

But Bransty’s prolific hit man Ryan Cornish drew them level on 26 minutes.

Martin Rossi restored the lead for Miners before the break, but Bransty came out the stronger and ran away with it as Cornish added his second of the game and Mark Callum, RickyMcGuinnes and Chris Armstrong also netted.

Windscale also went out of the cup as Netherhall inflicted a 3-0 score on the home side, Keith Anderson and Mark Smith (2) getting the goals.

Wigton Athletic went down 5-2 at home to Whitehaven AFC.

It’s County Cup action this weekend and there are no Tesco league matches.
