MANCHESTER FA COUNTY CUP

MANCHESTER MACCABI 1st 4 CHEADLE HULME ALBION 0

Marcus Jackson, Max Rose and two own goals saw off Cheadle Hulme Albion 4-0.

And while the Manchester and Cheshire League title fight could be going to the wire, Scott McGarvey's side are certainly up for the cup.

Maccabi assistant-manager Tony Gellman said: "We want to win every competition we play in. Our league form has not been as good as we would have hoped for in recent months. But we are still in with a strong shout.

"And if we can win another cup competition it will have been a very good season."
