Rory Romani and Craig Lawford gave Oakenshaw a two goal lead at home to Fairweather Green as they continued their march towards the Premier Division title.

Fairweather, who turned in a much better performance than of late, pulled a goal back through Greg Watts, but Romani grabbed his second as Fairweather slipped to their sixth defeat in a row.

Oakenshaw now need only one more point to lift the crown.

Hudsons kept the championship open for at least another week. Martin Dolan and Dave Bell had them two up against Sandy Lane by the break and Martin Thompson scored a brilliant solo goal for their third. Although Sandy Lane scored twice themselves in the second half they went down 3-2.

Brown Cow Wyke ended their first season in the top flight by beating East Bowling Unity 2-1. Mark Blackall gave them a tenth minute lead only for EBU to hit back after the interval. Chris Lee headed Cow's 75th minute winner, but they owed much to a superb goalkeeping display from Neil Kellett.

Mick Gilmartin netted four times for Bolton Woods in their 6-2 win over Bradford Moor and Tony Marshall was a hat-trick hero for Ventus United, who lifted themselves off the bottom with a 4-0 win at home to a West Bowling side who now look certainties for the drop.

Richard Ingham gave Queensbury A the lead at Thornton as they renewed their chase for the First Division title. Thornton, who are fighting against the drop, equalised through Darren Holmes but the visitors were not to be denied and Gary Shaw struck twice in the second half for a 3-1 win.

Wibsey WMC should stay up after a 5-0 thrashing of Wrose Bull. Steve Tillotson (2), Gary Andrews and John Campbell all scored but the goal of the game came via a 25 yard effort from Dave O'Hara.

Delvers remain unbeaten in Division 1B. Charlie Hainsworth, Roger White, and Steve Wilkinson had them 3-0 to the good at half time against leaders Wrose Albion and Hainsworth and White each added a second to make the final score 5-0. The Delvers midfield duo of Mark Conley and John Holgate were in outstanding form.

Bottom club Woodend could only field nine men and were soundly beaten 7-0 at Eccleshill Ring o'Bells. Richard Smith (2), Mark Rewilak (2), Lincoln Oakley, Patrick Salmon and a first ever goal for the club from Dave Lister made up the total.

Thornbury won 2-1 at Mail Coach Odsal in Division 3A. Mark Booth scored both their goals and Dean Benn replied as the leaders won their 16th straight game.

Dudley Hill Rangers also won to keep the title race open, but a win for Thornbury in Thursday's clash between the two will see them crowned champions.

Dudley Hill won 7-1 at home to Bold Privateer, Craig Brown scoring three and Barry Ryan, Dave Thompson, Billy Cassidy and Mark Norton one each.

Wayne Walsh twice put Hare & Hounds ahead against Shamrock Rovers, but the visitors equalised twice and threatened to take a point until Martin Clapham scored in the dying moments to give Hounds three vital Division 3B points. Shamrocks must now win the return clash on Thursday or Hounds will lift the title.

Fire Brigade A moved into second spot in Division 2A with a 7-2 win at Eccleshill CC, who battled well in the second half after going 4-0 down. Andy Maltby got both Eccleshill goals but they were outgunned by Lee Robinson (3), Paul Cator (2), Chris Cooney and Danny Grimshaw.

Carl Smith got one of the Queensbury B goals but they couldn't stop leaders Craven Heifer from taking the points with a 6-2 win.

Prince of Orange are just four points away from the Division 4A title in their first season. Gary Wainwright and an own goal had them 2-0 in front at Liongate, Steve Little then made it 3-0 just into the second half and Wainwright grabbed three more as they went on to a 6-2 win.

Odsal made a mockery of their league position as they ran promoted A H Marks very close. Damien Ireland and Nicky Ward scored two each but a late own goal saw Marks come through 5-4.

Penalties decided both semi-finals in the Intermediate Cup after extra-time failed to find a winner in either game. Crown 96 won 3-1 on spot kicks after drawing 1-1 with Bowling Hotel and the Westwood and Nags 94 tie also ended 1-1, Nags going through 3-2 on penalties.
