Albion Sports midfielder Tariq Hussain scored his fourth hat-trick in successive matches.

Hussain's feat came in the Premier Division match against Wibsey WMC which his team won 6-1 to stay three points behind East Bowling Unity who have a 100 per cent record.

Bradford Moor spoiled Unity's unbeaten record last season but there was no repeat this time as Unity dominated throughout to win 2-0. Jamie Buchan and Steve Blackett earned plaudits in midfield.

Still without a win, Ventus went 1-0 down at Calverley after a crisp interchange between Lee Matthews and scorer Chris Dimbylow.

Mick Naylor scored his ninth goal of the season as a typical battling Queensbury display earned them a 1-0 win over Craven Heifer, the only sad note being player-manager Terry Mason's being taken to hospital with a foot injury.

While Hudsons and Bolton Woods shared a goalless draw there was a tremendous start for new Stanley Road manager Dave Heeley, the former Guiseley and Park Avenue assistant, as former Avenue players Damien Lee, Mark Wilson and Shane Mazurke were on target in Road's first points of the season, a 4-1 win over Oakenshaw.

Dudley Hill Rangers confirmed their good start in Division One with a 3-1 win over Eccleshill United who had taken the lead. Craig Brown equalised before the break and then Roman Zurek scored and provided the cross for Rangers' third by Mark Davey.

Westwood never recovered from a 3-0 deficit at Wrose Bull who stay second behind Fairweather Green after running out 5-2 winners.

Springfield stay pointless after a 6-0 defeat at Pudsey Royal where Danny Budge hit a hat-trick as Pudsey settled the game early with four first half goals.

With no goals after 45 minutes the second half had it all in the East Ward v Rawdon clash. Both sides put away controversial penalties as East Ward led 1-0, 2-1 and then went 3-2 down before Steve Bromley equalised to share the points.

There's no stopping West Bowling in Division 1A.

Visitors Undercliffe had a creditable first half and did not concede until the 43rd minute but were swamped heavily in the second half as Bowling hit seven more goals in an 8-1 romp. In fine form were midfielders Simon Pearmain and Darren Storey who shared five goals.

In the clash between unbeaten sides Bolton and Wilson Transport it was Transport who faltered. New signing Paul O'Connell put Bolton into a 65th minute lead, but Wilsons countered in the 80th minute through Harvey Lazenby until a 25-yarder from Paul Hindle saw Bolton home.

After opening the scoring and pulling back level from 3-1 down, pointless Mail Coach faltered in the last 20 minutes as Dave Dickenson completed his hat-trick in Quarry's 5-3 victory.

After their amalgamation with their Wharfedale side, Baildon Trinity are having a much better season. The club, now in a creditable mid-table position, were 5-1 winners over Clayton Orient who slumped to a fifth successive defeat.

In Division 1B new player-manager Andy Hindle has taken St Pats into second place after a 3-0 win at previously unbeaten Chellow.

Pats lost goalkeeper Mark Tendall in the second minute and stand-in Darren Beck played well in his place as Pats scored through Ian Taylor, Mark Fernie and Peter Ramsden.

White Eagles gave leaders Queens Athletic one of their hardest matches so far as Queens kept their 100 per cent record with a 2-1 victory, goals coming from leading scorer Joel Bairstow and John Holgate.

Two goals from veteran Micky Diamond saw Junction stay in fourth place with a 3-1 win over Calverley Reserves.

Acclimatising well in the division, Royal Clayton strengthened their mid-table position with a 4-1 win over Dudley Hill Rangers Reserves thanks to a second half hat-trick from Malcolm McLaren.
