St Mary’s and Peel both progressed to the Cu Plas FA Cup semi-finals with ease on Saturday.

The Saints demolished Division Two Corinthians 7-0 at the Bowl, a scoreline Peel repeated at western rivals Marown in the two quarter-finals to survive the weather.

Two goals each from Paul Wright, Peter Langridge and Steven Priestnal, along with a Jamie Skillen goal, booked the Saints’ place in the semi-finals where they’ll meet the winners of the Laxey/St George’s quarter-final.

Meanwhile at Crosby, a Kevin Megson hat-trick (two from the penalty spot) helped Peel defeat lowly Marown.

Nick Hurt (two), Neil Birchenough and Juan Killip were the other goal-getters.
Peel will visit the winners of the Old Boys/Pulrose tie in the other semi-final.
