The possibility of a Bradford & District FA Sunday Cup quarter-final between Albion Sports' 1st and 2nd XIs proved a non-starter as the second string went out at the third-round stage, 4-1 to Bolton Woods.

Kevin Woodhead's disputed spot-kick put Woods in front before Des Rouse added a second before half-time. Paul Hickey pulled a goal back for Albion and Indy Singh missed a penalty which would have brought the scores level.

Woods sealed the game in the last quarter through Dominic Quinn and Mick Gillmartin.

There was a disappointment for Nags in their tie with Holme Wood.

Having done well to be in front of the Division One leaders 3-2 at the interval, Nags fell away in the second half and were swamped 8-3.

There was another high-scoring game at Queensbury where the home side were always too much of a handful for St Pat's, winning 6-3.

Sycamores brushed aside Rose & Crown in their Sunday Cup quarter final with an easy 9-0 win. Five Sycamore players got on the scoresheet, led by Lenny Worby with four goals.

There was a tight match at Wrose Bull who entertained Bradford Moor.

One goal was always going to decide it and that came when Martin Dolan's cross produced a fumble by the keeper which Richard Longley coolly accepted.

On a day where overnight rain caused the cancellation of all the Premier fixtures in the Bradford Sunday Alliance only one game went ahead in Division One, with third-placed West Bowling held to a goalless draw by Hare & Hounds.

It was a case of stay as you were for the leading two in Division 1A, Waggoners and Clayton Orient, as both clubs were held 3-3 by Shoulder of Mutton and Baildon Trinity respectively.

Orient were behind three times in their clash at Baildon. Wayne Fisher levelled twice and Dave Gough's 75th-minute strike earned Orient their point.

Shoulder of Mutton earned a creditable draw at Waggoners.

Third-placed Quarry lost ground in the title race when they went down 2-0 to fourth-placed Idle.

The home side led through a Phil Ramsden goal after five minutes. Quarry did apply some pressure but Idle defended well, particularly in the second half when down to ten men.

Danny Kitcherman broke away near the end to put the result beyond doubt.

Having only scored eight goals in their previous 12 outings, Hudsons had a field day at Move It Removals where Chris Gray led the early Christmas celebrations with a hat-trick in Hudsons' 6-1 win.

In the Division 1B relegation issue, Dudley Hill Rangers stay one point behind White Eagles with three games in hand after the two sides drew 3-3 draw at Manningham Mills.

John Spivey scored on his debut for Eagles after joining from Heaton, and his new side looked to have won it when Kevin Lamey put them 3-2 up with the clock ticking down.

Jamie McEwan, chasing a hat-trick for Dudley Hill hit a post before Mark Whitford nipped in in the 89th minute to level.

In Division 3A, honours were even at half-time between One In Twelve and Nab Wood Juniors with three goals apiece. But Terry Harland's Nab Wood shifted up a gear in the second period to win 6-3.

Victoria went top of Division 3A after a 3-0 win over Farmers. Ali Faisal (2) and Lee McNicholas were Victoria's goalscorers.

Stockbridge Victoria were in control of the first period against White Swan, going into the interval 3-1 up.

White Swan, however, took the game to Stockbridge in the second half and scored two goals to equalise.

Stockbridge rallied again and scored the winner in the 88th minute through Peter Boothfield to win three valuable points which lift them into seventh spot.

Hare & Hounds Reserves beat the Queen Hotel 3-1.

Bradford Ukrainians cruised to a

7-1 win against a beleaguered British Queen team in Division 3B. The goalscoring was led by Jan Jakubiak with two goals.

Jimmy Morrell netted a hat-trick for Wyke Wanderers Reserves in their

7-1 win over Bangladeshi Youth in Division Four.

Woodlands Reserves had a 6-2 win at One in Twelve, while Tuckers beat Sedbergh Crusaders 6-2 to take them back to the top of the table.
