Grattan League: U-Save-DIY gained revenge over Lexicon for their Premier Division defeat in November beating them by the same score - 3-2.

The atrocious conditions played a major part in the match and led to U Save's first goal.

The ball was held up by the wind and the goalkeeper misjudged it. That allowed Vincent Howard to nip in and score U Save's opener in the fifth minute.

It was his sixth goal in as many games.

U-Save then pushed forward in search of another goal and were rewarded after 25 minutes when a cross from the wing found Lars Neal on the edge of the penalty area and he scored with a shot into the top corner.

Andrew Wilson put Lexicon back in the game with a goal before half time.

It was a closely fought match after the interval and referee Paul Evans kept excellent control in the bad conditions, allowing flowing football from both sides.

Paul Crossley put U Save 3-1 up 20 minutes into the second half with the best goal of the match before Tony Quinn pulled a goal back for Lexicon with ten minutes left.

This set up an exciting finish with Lexicon pressing hard for an equaliser and they nearly scored only to see an effort cleared off the line by Neal to help to ensure U Save's fine win.

Lexicon are having a difficult time in the league and have let in 23 goals in their last four matches.

Bradford Moor YSA moved to the top of Division One on goal difference with two matches in hand after beating Old Kings Head 6-1.

It was a revenge win for Bradford Moor because Old Kings Head have been the only team to take points off them.

The only match to be played in the Second Division was between leaders Baildon and in-form Cross Keys who had won their previous five games.

At one stage the referee was going to call off the match because of the weather, but the Baildon players pleaded for time to make the pitch playable.

Baildon were rewarded for their efforts with a 4-0 win.

They led 2-0 at half time with goals from Dale French and Lewis Walsh.

After the break Baildon sat back on their lead and allowed Cross Keys into the game.

But they could not finish and the home side began to show the sort of form that has kept them on top of the table for most of the season.

French scored his second goal of the match after 60 minutes, courtesy of a defensive error when two defenders went for the same ball and left him with an easy chance.

Fifteen minutes later Lewis scored his second goal following a cross from Ian Irving.

Cross Keys' misery was completed when Devlin Hans was sent off.
