IT was a case of better late than never for Bradford side Route One Rovers in the Yorkshire Amateur League Supreme Division, as they won 5-1 at Lower Hopton despite starting the game with only eight players.

Unsurprisingly, Route One were a goal down in the first minute but two more men quickly arrived, before another set of players turned up to give them a full complement of 11.

That enabled them to draw level in the 30th minute, before they added four second-half goals to move up to fourth. Inexperienced Hopton remain bottom.

It was a very special day for Awais Khan, who grabbed four goals for Route One, with their other strike coming courtesy of Danyal Yasin.

Meanwhile, there were three more points for leaders Farsley Celtic Juniors against an improving Drighlington.

Drig are second bottom, with five points from 12 matches, but their young, hard-working side battled bravely against a Farsley side who have won every league game this season.

Despite not being at their best, and going through the motions somewhat, Farsley were always in control, with skipper Craig Farrand scoring twice, and Andy Shields, Danny Lyons and Tom Ormondroyd also netting.

Meanwhile, superb defence was the backbone of Leeds Medics & Dentists' surprise 2-0 win at Horsforth St Margaret's.

Horsforth, who had only played five league games before Saturday, had taken all 15 points on offer, while the Medics had only won one of their opening 10 matches.

But Jean Marc Egue and Gerson Costa both scored from rare attacks for the visitors, who somehow survived the Horsforth onslaught in the second half.

The Medics shot up to 12th with victory, and now look as if they may avoid finishing in the bottom two.

In the Premier Division, hosts Wibsey were grateful for Shire Academics missing some really good chances in the first 20 minutes, as they eventually picked up a 3-0 win.

Wibsey took the lead on 35 minutes when a free kick to the back post was headed back into the six-yard box and Ethan Labad stabbed home.

Sixteen-year-old Ethan Lee headed home just before half time, before getting his second on the hour to make it five goals in six games for him.

A depleted St Bede's struggled in the first half at Stanningley and should have been more than 1-0 behind.

But they were much improved after the break, and grabbed a deserved equaliser with a great volley from the edge of the box by Lewis Gittens, who had stepped up from the reserves.

The 1-1 draw means they drop to second behind Middleton.

Meanwhile, in the Championship, PFC started like world beaters at home to Horsforth St Margaret's B, quickly going 2-0 up.

They were still ahead at the break, before being blown away by the visitors in a 7-3 defeat.

PFC sit third, while Horsforth remain in second.

Finally, a young Toller side dominated the first half at Ryburn United in the Terry Marfitt Trophy and went 1-0 up through a well-taken Hassan Khan goal.

A resilient Toller had to go on the defensive to thwart the hosts in the second half, but conceded with the final kick of the match in the 95th minute.

The visitors were left exasperated, feeling the referee should have already end the match by that point.

That possibly affected them in the subsequent shootout, as they missed three of their kicks to go out.
