Queensbury's six-match winning run came to an abrupt end with a 34-6 defeat at Pennine League table-toppers Drighlington.

Bury could not repeat the form they displayed when they knocked the Leeds side out of the Presidents Cup last December with persistent indiscipline causing them to concede a string of penalties at vital moments.

The Yorkshire Cup holders were well in command leading 16-2 at the break, with Bury's only points coming from the boot of hooker Rob Smith.

It was much the same in the second stanza but Bury did manage to reach the whitewash with a consolation try from teenage substitute wingman Damian Smith.

Birkenshaw will now be relegated alongside Victoria Rangers following their hefty 46-0 home defeat at the hands of Elland.

Birky had 13 players unavailable for a variety of reasons and were overwhelmed by the strength and pace of the reigning champions but they had a glimmer of satisfaction with a cracking display from young forward John Oakes and a solid all-round effort from old master Darren Webb.

Victoria Rangers could not raise a side to visit Illingworth in the Premier and while Cowling Harlequins were forced to concede their Division Five match at Bank Top Harriers, they still made the trip to play a ten-a-side friendly.

West Bowling A made sure that Calder Valley go down from Division One by posing a healthy 26-16 win on their travels.

Club coach and hooker Glenn Barraclough celebrated a rare Pennine outing by scoring the opening try and further touchdowns came from Chris Curtin, Richard Young and Danny Yorke, with Dean Garside kicking five goals.

Wests' man-of-the-match award went to former Dudley Hill prop Gareth Shepherd.

Queensbury A came within a whisker of causing an upset against Ovenden A.

Bury could only raise 12 men and despite being a man short scored first.

However, the Halifax side hit back to win 24-20 in an end-to-end encounter.

Wingman Danny Kelly (2), full back Joe Prest and centre Danny Holmes reached the whitewash with prop Brett Marriott kicking two conversions.

Undercliffe are still neck and neck with York Acorn at the top of Division Four despite a below-par show against Meltham All Blacks.

Liam Jarvis was Cliffe's best player on the day with tries coming from Paul Priestley, Jonathan Hotham and Andy Mackie in the 22-14 success.

West Bowling B staged a thrilling fightback against Wetherby Bulldogs at the Bankfoot Oval, but with the score 18-16 in the Bulldogs' favour, they ran out of time as they pounded the line in the search of the winning score.

Young prop Martin Burkett was a revelation in the centre position, scoring a hat- trick, while Craig Hillam kicked two goals.

Guiseley Rangers clinched the Division Six title following a 32-4 win at home to St Josephs A.

James Lavell (2), John Waite, Tim Couling and Steve Barber led the celebrations with Scott Wade kicking six goals.

Rangers, who are now looking for a friendly game next week, have only one game left to play against former rivals Woodhouse, who had their title hopes shattered with a 48-24 defeat at Keighley Town.
