Keighley overcame Premier Division AFC Preston 2-0 in the Yorkshire and Humberside League's Knock-out Cup to secure a place in the quarter-finals.

It was tough going on Humberside for Keighley but they finally made the breakthrough in the 53rd minute when the home side conceded a corner on the left and Michelle Harrison's inswinging cross was met perfectly by Jane Potter, who headed home in style.

Preston hit back but, with only seven minutes remaining, Harrison took another corner in the same spot and this time the ball ended up in the net courtesy of a Preston defender and the visitors were through.

It was a tremendous performance from the Division One (West) outfit and if they can reproduce this kind of form there will be one or two of the Premier Division survivors not looking forward to picking out Keighley in the last-eight draw.

Premier Division leaders Leeds powered through 7-1 at home to Thorpe United and White Rose beat Scarborough 3-0 but the all-Premier clashes between Morley and Huddersfield and Bradford City at home to Sheffield fell victim to the frost.

Sporting Links (Caistor) beat York City reserves 5-2 and Hull City beat the York first team 3-2 while Goole's game with Doncaster PR Reserves was the third tie beaten by the weather.

The dates for the rearranged ties have still to be set.

In the league, Bradford City A were due to play Republica Internazionale at Apperley Bridge but all four games in this division were postponed.
