Prescot Cables secured their place in the next round of the FA Cup with a workmanlike 1-0 victory over local rivals Litherland Remyca, settling the tie with a sixth-minute strike that the hosts never truly looked like overturning. From that early moment, Prescot were content to protect their lead, sitting deep and making themselves difficult to break down across the remainder of the contest. Litherland, for their part, struggled to conjure the quality needed to unlock a resolute Cables defence, and the match meandered through its latter stages without any real threat to the result. The victory will be welcomed at Prescot, who advance in the FA Cup and will hope to carry the confidence of a clean sheet into their upcoming fixtures.
