A few games were called off as teams failed to raise sides for their fixtures Parton United and Bransty Rangers both had to call their games off a few hours before kick off, Whitehaven AFC said they could not play due to a football competition at their ground, we do know they had a under 16 game their which kicked off after 4pm, but I am sure the management committee will look in to all the reasons of all three clubs, St.Bees also had their game called off due to a waterlogged pitch.
Vice Chairman and Press officer Herbert Briggs said it is maybe time we changed the way games are called off as I was at a game on Saturday and everyone was saying it was due to the big Premier League game, other leagues would not let teams away with it and I don't think we will but that is my opinion and their are others who will have their say at our next meeting.
The games that did go ahead saw Cockermouth set up a cup tie with Wigton Athletic following a two nil win over Cleator Moor Celtic Reserves, Keith Skillen and James Carruthers scored the goals against a side that travelled with no keeper due to the reserves keeper Craig Rule playing his second game for the first team due to Divine and Carson bee injured.
