Maghull 1 General Chemicals 0

CHEMICS matched Maghull in the first half and looked lively, however, in the second half middlemen Ellams and Ingham lost control of the midfield.

This put added pressure on the Chemics' defence.

They survived until injury time when Robbie Moore caught a Maghull striker and the subsequent penalty kick was converted to the give the Liverpool side all three points.

General Chemicals 1 Ashville 2

CHEMICS took the lead on the half hour mark after Kev Jacques put Peter Houghton through.

The Chemics striker shot past the Ashville keeper to give the home side a one goal advantage at the break.

In the second half Chemics lost Jacques through injury and Steve O'Hara replaced him up front.

With just 15 minutes to go, and for the third game in succession, the Chemics defence conceded a penalty.

This time the villain of the piece was Dave McGee and the resultant penalty was converted.

In the dying seconds an uncharacteristic mistake by Chemics' keeper Gary Hughson was capitalised on by Ashville who scored the winner.
