Bradford Arms have been replaced at the top of the Telegraph & Argus League for the first time this season after being beaten by a resolute White Abbey Road.

TVR United moved three points clear when they beat third-placed Thornbury Youth in thriller and, to complete a perfect day for the new leaders, Abundant Life Church beat fourth-placed Bradford All Stars.

Sajid Ali scored a penalty after 15 minutes to put Youth in front but Ashiq Iqbal levelled with a header in the 28th minute.

Faisel Shabir then hit a 35-yard volley to put visitors TVR in front and added another ten minutes later to make it 3-1.

Mohammed Jamil put them further in front on the hour, only for Ali to score his second from a penalty ten minutes later. Mohammed Ahmed then pulled a third back for the youths.

Nazraan Khan put Abundant Life in front after 15 minutes with a well-taken goal to surprise visitors Bradford All Stars, Shamzea Ahmid doubling the hosts’ lead just before the break.

The visitors hit back with two goals early in the second half but Life were not going to give the points up easily and were rewarded with goals by Khaled Elsayed (74 minutes) and Dave Dave Niblock (80 minutes).

White Abbey were 2-0 up inside five minutes but were hauled back to 2-2 before winning with the last kick.
