MOBBERLEY C caused an upset in the Knutsford and District Amateur League’s Team Knockout when they eliminated higher-ranked Wilmslow Cons A in the first round on Thursday.
Favourites to be promoted from the second tier this season, they did not need to rely on their handicap advantage to progress.
They are joined in the last eight by Mobberley D, who were convincing victors against Mere A.
Division Two sides Mere B and Wilmslow Cons B saw off section rivals Wilmslow RBL and Mere C respectively.
Mobberley A enjoyed an easy ride against Shaw Heath at Tatton, where they won by 189 points on aggregate, while Tatton eliminated Alderley Union.
Brook Street A and Morley, both struggling in the top-flight this season, set aside their relegation worries to get through at the expense of Mobberley B and Brook Street B respectively.
The quarter finals are scheduled for next Wednesday.
