Trafford lead the way to the last eight of the North West Inter League Cup, which features the top sixteen teams in the L and C and old rivals the LAL.
Round Two sees the winning teams go through to the quarter finals and Trafford reserves led the way for the L and C with a 6-1 thumping of Accrington Amateurs.
The game was played on an immaculate surface at Trafford’s Shawe View Stadium and Trafford got off to a flier with a neat finish on two minutes by the prolific Declan McGloin.
Accrington held on until the break and levelled early after the restart but Trafford stepped up a gear to add five more goals for a fine 6-1 victory.
Joining them in the last eight are Hazel Grove with an excellent 4-1 win at Ashtonians and AFC Monton who won a nine-goal thriller 5-4 over Oldham Hulmeians, the home side led by four goals at one stage.
Going out were Chadderton Cott losing 2-0 at Rochdale St Clements and Rushford Park 4-1 to Old Blackburnians.
There was plenty of league action and Salford Vics moved into a commanding lead of eleven points at the top of the Premier Division with a 5-2 win at Bollington as their main rivals dropped points.
Vics took the long journey to Bollington and opened the scoring after seven minutes through Sam Birkett after good work down the right hand side by Pauli Vivers.
Bollington's drew level when their debutant striker netted.
After 21 minutes Vics were reduced to ten men when Pauli Vivers was red carded but from the resultant free kick Louis Russell headed Vics into a 2-1 lead.
Joe Axon added a third after 35 minutes leaving four defenders dumfounded in his wake, after putting the ball past keeper.
Vics did their normal trick of bringing on too many subs at half time and conceded straight away.
The second half was one-way traffic with the ten men defending bravely, after 62 minutes centre back Aaron Brown went down the left beating four defenders and setting up Joe Axon for his second goal.
The one way traffic resumed but twice more Vics broke at pace.
In the 94th minute Myles Jevons took the ball off the right back 35 yards from goal and proceeded to beat both centre backs who managed to push him wide, before he put a sublime chip over the keeper into the far top corner.
The other games in the division saw second-placed Abacus Media go down 3-2 at lowly Trafford United and Bedians were held 2-2 at Village Manchester.
The other game ended locked at 1-1 between Bury Ams and Pro United.
With Cup action Division One was limited to two games and AFC Stockport got back to winning ways and into the promotion race with a comfortable 4-0 win at Elton Fold.
The other game was an end to end thriller with Moston Brook reserves and Richmond Rovers sharing eight goals.
There were also only two games in Division Two. Didsbury FC were delighted to get back into action at their home ground which had been hit badly by the January floods.
They hosted Santos who were looking for a win which would take them back to the top of the division.
But it was not to be as Didsbury came out on top by 2-1 in a hard-fought encounter.
A great strike for Didsbury by Ryan McGhee was doubled by Shane Bates to give Didsbury a gritty 2-1 win.
The other game was basement clash at Abacus Media reserves who lost out 3-0 to Tintwistle Athletic reserves who move out of the bottom two.

Waterhead maintained their eight-point lead at the top of Division A but were given a good game at Manchester Saints before winning 2-1.
Didsbury reserves were the big hitters with a 5-0 win at Fittonhill All-Stars to close the gap on non-playing second-placed Moston Brook thirds to two points with plenty of games in hand.
The other two games in the division both ended with 2-1 score-lines in favour of Irlam Steel Rangers Development over Newton Vikings and AFC Oldham at Bury Ams A.
