Cartmel travelled without four first team regulars but Glen Sargeant was outstanding and marshalled the midfield superbly.

It was a brilliant all round performance by the Cartmel side who have entered this competition for the first time in more than a decade.

It took a while for them to get on top against a team that played well but had no cutting edge against a superb defence.

Once Cartmel took the lead they never looked back, running out comfortable winners.

Cameron Young scored twice, Sammy Taylor and Sargeant on his comeback scored a stunner.

In round three Cartmel will have to travel again, this time to play Southport and Ainsdale Amateurs.

Bowerham Dynamos from the Baines Bagguley Penhale North Lancashire Football League Division Three entertained Feniscowles/Pleasington from Blackburn.

After working hard throughout, the team opened up a 3-1 lead with goals from Jamie Townley, Simon Wearing and Jamie Bramhall.

They held this lead until the 86th minute when a lapse in defence handed the Blackburn side a lifeline as they made it 3-2.

They threw everyone forward in the last two minutes and with the referee looking at his watch they equalised, much to the disappointment of the Bowerham team.
