Sunday morning's heavy conditions proved a leveller in the second round of the Bradford FA Sunday Senior Cup with several creditable performances by lower division clubs.
Best result of the day was by Division 1B's Junction United, who won 4-0 against Stanley Road - their first ever cup win against Premier opposition.
With David Booth leading from the back, Junction stung the visitors with goals from Andy Sagar, Craig Smith, Mark Graves and substitute Carl Dalton.
An own goal by a Calverley Victoria defender, who diverted Jamie McEwan's cross past his own goalkeeper in the second half, saw Priory through to the next stage 2-1.
For the second week running Queens Athletic threw away a two-goal lead against a Premier club. Two goals from Wrose Bull's Matthew Grogan brought extra time where Jonathan White saw Bull through to the third round.
Queens were denied in the last minute when Carl Wood made a brilliant double save from Joel Bairstow.
Wibsey WMC Reserves, without a league win in Division 1B, provided the shocks for Premier opposition Crown. Leading 2-1 at one stage, Wibsey were denied extra time in a controversial 85th-minute incident when a goal attempt which looked to go over the line wasn't given. Crown won 3-2.
Another side to lose a 2-0 lead were West Bowling, who gave Oakenshaw a first-half scare at Bowling Park. Two converted penalties by Craig Lawford in the second-half saw Oakenshaw edge home 3-2.
For the second time this season in cup football Eastward gave Premier Division leaders East Bowling Unity a hard workout.
Mark Whiteley's header from a corner in the 45th minute proved the game's winner as Unity won 3-2.
Division 1B leaders Chellow gave Westwood some early problems, but goalkeeper Lee Ash proved to be the man for the task and, as Westwood settled down, strikers Mark Gallon and Leroy Lewis proved a handful as the pair shared five goals in Westwood's 5-0 win.
Until Bolton Woods scored twice in the last five minutes to win 5-2, Dudley Hill Rangers were in with a shout at Canal Road. While Ian O'Grady hit a hat-trick for Woods, Dudley Hill youngster Roman Zuric hit the goal of the game.
Mark Warren set the lead with a goal which saw him pass four men as a powerful second-half performance from Holme Wood enabled them to crush Wyke Wanderers 6-1.
Queensbury's two clubs in the competition both returned victorious. Player-manager Jose Pattison scored the only goal for the reserves against Hare & Hounds. Carl Smith, who was outstanding, earned a crucial penalty as the first team won 3-2 at Craven Heifer.
Albion Sports' two clubs also made the third-round draw. The reserve team came back from 2-0 down to win 3-2 at Victoria Rangers, while the first team, with a hat-trick from Stefan Zoll, won 4-2 at Undercliffe CC.
Move It Removals and Bank Top clashes are always close and Sunday's game was no exception, when Gavin Summers hit the only goal for Move It.
A 4-1 win at Bradford Moor saw Fairweather Green gain revenge for an earlier league setback, while Wibsey WMC threw away a 4-2 lead against Woodlands to go out 5-4.
