Double delight for Bird

Apr 18 2007 by Nick Moreton, Birkenhead News

BIRD in Hand picked up their second trophy of the season with a comprehensive victory over Beechwood Social in the Regent Cup Final.

Robbie Black, Byron Roberts and Lee Bridge were on target for the Bird, who remain on course for a historic quadruple.

In Division One, Parkfield continued their rise up the table with a 4-0 win against Admiral.

Ian McGragh hit two, while a John Walker double helped Kelma defeat Universal Windows 3-0.

A solitary Danny Hughes strike was enough to see Manor Athletic overcome Black Horse Borough, but honours were even as Winsor Pech Rock and AC Brookley played out a 2-2 draw.

In Division Two, Black Horse Wallasey moved a step closer to the title with a 4-0 triumph against Wirral Wanderers.

Leroy Williamson found the net twice and Louis Lyons and Keiron Ryan were also on target.

Future remain hot on their heals after scraping past Wirral LFC 3-2 thanks to goals from John Duggie (2) and Paul Devey.

Dave Ritson and Steve Smyth both hit two as Bronze Social eased past Tower by five goals to one.

The games between Central Park and Bebington Rovers and Claughton Hotel and New Dock each finished 1-1.

Trafalgar Rangers put a bad week behind them to register a point in a 1-1 draw with FC Village.
