Carey's a cracker in Millpool's cup coup; COVENTRY DISTRICT.

LIAM CAREY was the star of the show as Whitley Millpool reached the third round of the Haley Roe Challenge Cup, his hat-trick tipping the scales in a 4-2 success against Chapelfields.

Chris Russell also claimed a treble as Albany Social saw off Woods United Reserves 6-0, but Whitley Juniors had half-a-dozen separate scorers as they tamed Hawkesmill ST 6-0. Callum Ferguson (3) and Josh Wells (2) proved a lethal spearhead for Folly Lane Reserves, who powered into the next phase of the Vice Presidents Cup with a 5-2 flourish against Three Shuttles Reserves.

Paddy Dalton's hat-trick did the bulk of the damage in Diplomat's 5-3 decision at Shepherd while Steven Ward totted up four of the Tudor Rose goals in a 5-2 result at Walsgrave Hospital.

The wild weather bit into the league programme, but Three Shuttles maintained their serene progress at the head of the Senior Two table, Chris Wiley contributing three goals to their 6-3 win against Bird In Hand.

Coundon Cockerels cruised to an 8-1 win against Senior Four hosts Gurdwara GNP. Robert Jones and Curtis Liburd both helping themselves to hat-tricks.

Westwood Wanderers collected a much-needed Intermediate One success when doubles from Gareth McCarthy and Ryan Flynnn foiled Cedars 4-3. And a hat-trick from Lee Upton proved the key factor as UKRS Coundon eased to a 4-2 win against Division Two visitors Willenhall Wanderers.
