Nantwich..5 FC United..1
By Toby Robinson
NANTWICH Town reached the semi-finals of the Presidents Cup with an emphatic 5-1 win over FC United last night.
A record crowd of 873 turned up at the Weaver Stadium to see the Dabbers reach the final four in style.
Recalled Adam Beasley was the star of the show as Nantwich totally shocked their UniBond First Divison North opponents.
His 22nd-minute header was quickly cancelled out by Jerome Wright but Nantwich regained the advantage thanks to a neat move.
Nick Farquharson thread the ball through to Beasley who put the ball beyond the keeper.
Paul Taylor's free-kick gave them an instant two-goal cushion after the break and the Dabbers went on to dominate.
Phil Parkinson made it fourth with a firm header on 75 minutes before Alex boss Steve Holland saw Farquharson wrap things up with his fifth in three.

Let's get it on
By Toby Robinson
NANTWICH Town boss Steve Davis vowed the club will do all it can to make sure Friday night's huge clash against FC United goes ahead.
It's been a frustrating start to 2008 with a combination of the weather and pitch problems forcing nine postponements at the Weaver Stadium.
The Dabbers hope that run doesn't extend to double figures with a crowd of 1,500 expected for their Presidents Cup quarter-final meeting with the rogue Red Devils.
"We just can't seem to get a game on," explained Davis.
"The pitch hasn't helped but the weather has also been terrible.
"It's been frustrating.
"Water is still on the surface and we've got to wait until it improves.
"There's nothing else we can really do at the moment.
"But we've got to remain positive.
"We've got to try and get Friday's game on, for the revenue and we've got home advantage.
"We're doing everything we can and we've got people working around the clock to sort it out."
