CUP semi-finalists Vale Juniors under 14s avenged this month's shock defeat at strugglers Grappenhall by dishing out a 7-0 thrashing at Back Lane.

Vale dominated possession in the mud and fired in shots from every angle until Ben Buckley finally found his way past a quality goalkeeper to score twice in the first half.

Buckley took his tally to four after the break and Tom Jackson rounded off the win with a well-taken hat trick.

Northwich lie in wait for Vale in Sunday's cup semi-final at Congleton Town. Kick off at 2.30pm.
