The outstanding County Cup quarter-final finally went ahead at Apperley Bridge and Bolton Woods made it through to the sixth semi-final in their history and a date with Wakefield club Redoubt with a 5-2 win over Pudsey Royal.

A defensive mistake saw Pudsey into an immediate lead and they impressed afterwards until Woods stung them with three goals in ten minutes via Kevin Woodhead (free-kick), Derek Rouse and Danny Spencer's shot from the wing.

In the second half Rouse added his second, Pudsey replied with a penalty and Dominic Quinn completed the scoring with Woods' fifth goal.

The two outstanding Bradford & District Cup quarter-finals went to form with Albion Sports winning 4-0 at East Bowling Unity and Stanley Road beating fellow Division One side Wyke Wanderers 2-0.

Two-nil down on 30 minutes to Taj Singh and Goodwin Douglas, East Bowling Unity bossed a lot of the second half but with the visitors' defence staying intact, Albion earned their semi-final date with Oakenshaw with further goals from Nirander Sandhu Singh and Harmit Singh.

Wyke Wanderers certainly didn't make things easy for Stanley Road. They played some entertaining football and looked the better side for the first half hour.

They created a couple of chances against the best defence in Sunday football that weren't taken. The lesson came when Stanley Road's first chance saw Scott Ryan put his side in front with a well-taken goal.

Wyke keeper Gary Shaw kept his side in it, including a penalty save, and although Wyke again did well in the second half the result was never in doubt once Shaw had made amends for his penalty miss by chesting down and drilling home from outside the box.

Stanley Road now meet Dudley Hill Rangers in their semi-final.

It was certainly the day for the underdog in Alliance football for in the top four divisions all eight sides occupying the last two positions won.

Chasing points for Premier Division survival with only two wins from 14 games, Crown fielded a full-strength side for the first time this season and pulled off the result of the day when they beat leaders Fairweather Green 3-1.

Making the mistake of trying to dribble out of defence Fairweather were punished by Dave Armitage shortly into the second half. A keeper error allowed Ben Brown to score a second goal.

Adie Howard pulled a goal back as Fairweather rose out of their complacency, only for Jez Lowery to add a third goal in the last five minutes.

To round off a great day for the two bottom sides, East Ward won their first match of the season, a Santuago Contraras goal on 60 minutes being sufficient to beat Calverley 1-0.

Though not as comprehensive as their win early in the season, Holme Wood Athletic completed a double over Oakenshaw. Goals in their 2-1 win came from Tim McLoughlin and Chris Brown. Matthew Papworth scored for Oakenshaw and with Fairweather losing Holme Wood retained their position as leaders.

West Bowling are the new leaders of Division One on goal difference over Wibsey WMC after a 4-0 win against Waggoners where all the goals came in the second half. Darren Storey's 25-yarder helped break Waggoners' resistance and with further goals coming from Chris Wood, Carl Storey and a keeper own goal, Bowling consolidated a strong second-half performance.

Things are getting tight at the foot of the division after wins for the bottom two sides. Queensbury Reserves, with father and son Terry and Steve Mason both on the scoresheet, turned round at 2-2 to win 5-2 against Bradford Moor, and Clayton Orient were impressive in a 3-2 win at Westwood. The returning Dave Conway had a good game for Queensbury while at Westwood, former City keeper John Worsnop scored and Carlo Moorhouse kept his record of scoring in every game he has played.
