Prescott the better footballing side but Upton still had more chances.

6 Feb - Upton Res 2 - Mossley Hill Res 1 - Upton made hard work of the first half and should have been 2 up but missed chances saw the score line at 0-0 at halftime. Upton took the lead midway through the second half with fine goal scored by Jacob Warne. Mossley Hill fought back and equalised late in the game, it looked all set for the draw until Nathan Freeman saw the keeper off his line and his speculative shot from fully 25 yards hit the back of the net. Mossley Hill kicked off and the referee blew the final whistle, game over 2 - 1 to Upton.
12 Feb - Ellesmere Port Res 1 - Upton Res 1 - In a tightly contested first half Nathan Freeman put Upton ahead after 30 minutes. The second half was also tight and EP scored the equaliser 2 minutes from time, although a Nathan Freeman shot was cleared off the line in the last minute, all in all a fair result.
20 Feb - Upton Res v Mersey Royal. Mersey Royal failed to turn up or contact either our club or the League. Subsequently the Referee duly waited until 2.30pm before calling the game off. Most of the reserve team players then went to watch the first team at Helsby. Apparently Mersey Royal finally arrived at our ground at 3.15pm and remonstrated with the referee. he explained that he called the game off at 2.30pm.
15 March - Richmond Raith Rovers 1 - Upton Res 0 - On a very poor playing surface Upton certainly deserved a share of the spoils. the wind spoilt the day which had very few attempts on goal from either side. In the third minute of added time RRR scored after the Upton keeper Michael Derkaz made a great save only to leave the forward with a tap in goal, disappointing result!
20 March - Hale 4 - Upton 3 - Hale romped into a 4 - 0 lead after just 35 minutes! A tremendous fight back from the lads saw Mike Bowell pull one back before half time and further goals from Derek Rodgers and Sean Lynch were just not quite enough to earn a share of the spoils. A great fight back which deserved to get something from the game against the league's leaders.
27 March - Upton 0 - Manor Athletic 2 - Upton should have had this game over and done with by half time but could not score from the chances they created. The second half was very different as Manor pushed forward to score twice, a result that did not look possible at half time.
29 March - Upton 1 - Blacon Res 0 - At last a result for David Owen and Kevin. The Reserves may have played better in recent weeks without winning. After 10 minutes Mark Thompson scored from close range from a corner. Within 5 minutes Blacon ballooned a penalty over the bar. The remainder of the first half was even and closely fought without troubling the goalkeepers. The second half began well for Blacon but created very few chances and gradually the Reserves began to create chances of their own. At least three headers were squandered from crosses from the right wing and a right foot shot (I repeat right foot shot) from Steve Rowlands was narrowly wide. However Blacon hit the foot of the post from 25 yards but for the final 10 minutes Upton remained untroubled.
