Merseyside Police were previously based at their sports ground at Fairfield, but with that facility now closed they have moved across the city to a venue that enjoys quite stunning views across the River Mersey.
It is a multi sport venue, with facilities for cricket, rugby and tennis as well as football.
The roped off cricket square can be seen in the next photo, with a second football pitch in the background.
One of two grass tennis courts is visible in the next shot of the goal at the clubhouse end of the ground.
The hosts play in Division Three of the West Cheshire League, whilst their visitors are Furness Cavaliers from Division Two of the West Lancashire League.
The divisions lie at equal levels of the non-league pyramid, and with both teams going into the game on the back of some good recent results a close contest seems likely.
So it proves, and in a tight first half the best chance sees Mick Seddon get in behind the visitors defence only for keeper Scott Linklater to produce a good save.
After the break Merseyside Police come closer still, skipper Paul Clarke heading fractionally over the bar from a Daley Woods corner in the photo below, but the opening goal is only briefly delayed, Daley Woods running on to Tom Sumner's pass in the 66th minute and driving a shot into the far corner.
Danny Hughes could have doubled the advantage only to put a free header over the bar, but the inevitable late Furness Cavaliers pressure only yields a couple of half chances, and the 1-0 scoreline is enough to see Merseyside Police in to the next round.
