Sunday Alliance League and Cup Round-Up: The Senior Cup final will be between Albion Sports and Division One club Fair-weather Green.

Albion beat Oakenshaw 3-1 after extra time while Fairweather knocked out holders Ventus 2-0.

The Albion-Oakenshaw tie was disappointing.

A penalty in the 85th minute by Oakenshaw's Paul Smith cancelled out Taj Singh's 20th minute goal. But Albion are becoming experts at winning in extra time and goals from Singh and Jason Ryan saw them through to their second final of the season.

In a match with both sides under-strength young full back Sean Durkin broke through to put Fairweather into a second-half lead against Ventus.

They held on until the final ten minutes when player-manager Aidey Howard crowned a memorable first season in charge by slotting in Fairweather's second.

After their win over Premier Division leaders East Bowling Unity, Hudsons fell to earth at Queensbury. Midfielder Grant Cooper took the eye with two goals in a 4-0 win which should ensure Queensbury top-flight football next season.

Wyke Wanderers edged nearer to relegation, losing 3-2 at Bradford Moor despite leading twice in the second half.

Mark Morris's second goal put Moor back in it at 2-2 with defender Phil License joining the attack to grab the winner.

The win takes Moor to four points behind leaders Unity who themselves came from behind to share the points with Bolton Woods.

With midfielder Lal Corbally stabbing home a free kick and Gary Shaw's strong run making for a second Woods goal, a second successive league upset for Unity looked likely. The turning point came when Woods were denied a penalty which could have seen them 3-0 up. Then Paul Viner scored with a header and Paul Newsome got a deserved second half equaliser.

In Division One title-chasing Calverley Victoria finished strongly to beat Westwood 3-1.

East Ward, the other team in the title race, dropped two valuable points when they were held 2-2 by West Bowling who need points themselves to stay up. It was a late own goal which saw East Ward draw after they had gone 2-1 in front through Stanford Mackintosh in the 85th minute.

Craven Heifer now look likely to win promotion because East Ward need to win their last three matches and score more than 30 goals.

Wrose Bull started the early season as division leaders but are now in the relegation zone. They edged nearer safety with a 6-0 win over relegated bottom club Peel Park Rangers.

After their slip-up at Quarry Gap the previous week, Eccleshill United sealed the Division 1A championship at bottom club Baildon Trinity who made them fight all the way. Nicky Hird and Cameron Kiernan shared the goals in a 4-1 win.

The two Clayton sides, Quarry and Orient, drew 1-1. Orient player Lee Smith put Quarry ahead with an own goal but Matthew Ball equalised. The result means Quarry are relegated unless sufficient teams drop out next season .

Hare & Hounds are Division 1B champions after a 3-2 win at Junction.

The home side were 2-1 up with ten minutes left before Mark Regan equalised. Then when Regan was pulled down Wayne Walsh clinched the title from the penalty spot. Junction's Martin Kemp was the man of the match.

Forty-six-year-old Graham Sharpe was again Chellow's hero. He came off the bench to earn his side a point over St Pats with his side's equaliser.

Albion Sports Reserves moved to within three points of Division 2A leaders Mail Coach Odsal by thrashing them 6-1.

Ishtaq Hussain grabbed a hat-trick, Kultar Singh scored twice and Tarsun Singh completed a fine win as Albion move towards the title.

Calverley Victoria Reserves' lingering hopes of runners-up spot were snuffed out with a 3-1 defeat at Bay Horse. Rob Cayghill scored their goal.

Eccleshill Community Centre gained another point in their quest to avoid finishing bottom. Paul Horn in particular produced a fine performance. Horn gave Eccleshill the lead but Mark Wyatt equalised for Clayton Albion who are just above Eccleshill at the bottom.

Paul Birrane scored twice to help A H Marks to a 5-1 win at Malt Kiln. Sean Kellett and Matthew Flowers also scored but the best was a 35-yarder from Martin Flowers.
