After Dark 2, Craven Athletic 8

AFTER DARK were without their regular keeper who was out with a broken leg, and found the going tough in the Jeff hall Cup quarter-final.

Athletic controlled the game and hammered in eight goals with the home side replying through Richard Ojadzenko and Ian Tyler.

Craven now meet Granby Phoenix in the semi-final of the competition while Grapes play Old Swan Clarets in the other semi-final on Sunday, April 25.

Royal Oak 9

Keighley Juniors Res 2

There was little indication of Oak's total domination in the first 45 minutes, infact it was the visitors who were first on the scoresheet after five minutes, thanks to an own goal. Five minutes later Craig Jones put Oak level and Johnny Lawrence added two more.

The home team took command in the second half with goals from Johnny Lawrence who completed a double hat-trick and solo strikes from Mark Watson and substitute Darren Holmes.

Old Queen's Head 2

Albert Hotel 1

For the first 15 minutes albert were in control of the match and their efforts were rewarded with a goal on the seventh minute. Queens came more and more into the game, but could not find an equalising goal.

Albert also dominated early second half play without scoring, but Queen's Head hit back and scored two goals to capture all three points.

St Annes Celtic Res 3

Brown Cow 2

The game was controlled more by the wind than by the 22 players. With the strong wind at their backs the visitors found the net twice without reply from Saints.

Brown cow were facing the wind after the turn-round and were forced onto the back foot as St Annes scored three times in the last 45 minutes.
