Sunday Soccer: The Premier Division title race is certainly providing plenty of excitement with one point separating three teams.

Champions East Bowling Unity and current leaders Bolton Woods were expected to fight it out for honours but Bradford Moor have been a real surprise package.

Since their promotion to the top flight, Moor have previously lacked the consistency to challenge for honours but not this time.

Winger Chris Jeng and Mark Morris - two of several young players blending in with some of the sides longer established players - are spearheading Moor's challenge.

Albion could emerge as title contenders too but their interest in four cup competitions means they have only played eight games.

They are likely to be faced by a backlog of league games at the end of the campaign when player availability could be crucial for midweek matches.

Stanley Road have a settled side and are currently holding a strong fifth place - a position they could improve upon with a good run in.

Despite four creditable draws, Wibsey WMC are still chasing their first Premier win and look favourites for relegation.

Victoria Rangers, Queensbury or Wyke Wanderers are all in danger of the drop too.

The First Division championship battle is wide open with only eight point separating the top eight teams.

Four of the sides in the top five are promoted clubs - the odd one out being East Ward.

They are the form team having just put together a ten match undefeated run.

No-one is more pleased than loyal servant Tommy Carr, especially after the club's dismal 1998-99 season.

Green Man are rooted to the bottom without a point but which three teams will be relegated along with them is still not clear.

Eccleshill United's mixture of youth and experience has seen them dominate Division 1A.

They boast a 100 per cent record and hold an 11 point lead after victories over all the other leading sides.

Pudsey Royal look the best tip to follow them into the First Division.

The surprise team has been Undercliffe CC. They are just a point adrift of Royal in third place.

The signing of goal-machine Steve Daykin has been crucial in reviving a club who were lucky to avoid relegation last time.

Pre-season strengthening and the striking form of 26-goal Dave Welsh has seen Springfield become a promotion force in Division 1B.

The young Hare & Hounds side have bounced back after a couple of upsets in the early matches and are bidding for a top four spot along with Junction United, Dudley Hill Rangers and St Patrick's.

Albion Sports' reserve side are pressing hard for promotion from Division 2A after an ideal start of eight wins from ten games. Mail Coach are the current leaders in the division but have dropped the same number of points having played three games more.

Wilson Transport are the hot favourites for honours in Division 2B after 13 wins from 14 matches.

The runners-up spot is currently held by Woodman Rovers Reserves but they have played four more games than most of the other contenders.

A staggering 18 points lead in a 100 per cent start means that Post Office look to be crowned Division 3A champions.

Wibsey WMC's second string end the year as leaders in Division 3B, though they face a strong challenge from Holme Wood Athletic and Wyke Wanderers.

There is just no stopping Heaton United in Division 4A. They have made a successful transition from Saturday football with 11straight wins and are on course for a title triumph.
