In the Bill Godward Cup the Cestrians took the honours against Marton, but a knee injury for midfielder Rachel Furness was a high price to pay.

The first half saw Laura Gibbon open the scoring with the only goal of the half in a pretty uneventful game.

Natalie Gutteridge extended the lead in the second half before captain Vikki Ryder put the result beyond doubt. Laura Robins got a consolation goal for Marton but there was no way back.

The Cestrians Development team won 4-1 at Lumley with goals from Terri Gibson, Anne Marie Purvis (pen), Suzanne Falconer and Leanne Clark. Ali Johnson scoring for Lumley
