Tyersal beat the latest round of West Riding County Amateur League postponements to book a semi-final place in the PREMIER DIVISION CUP.

Almost half the scheduled fixtures were called off following another heavy overnight frost but Tyersal’s tie got the all-clear and goals from Graham Sides and Glynne Beale overcame Tingley Athletic 2-0.

Steeton were beaten by the same score as visitors Kirkburton had Keiran Ryan and Richard Popplewell on target in the first half.

Ovenden West Riding made the most of home advantage as they sent Marsden packing 6-1.

John Booth’s hat-trick was backed up by Steve Foulard (2) and Shaun Gibbons as Ovenden hit their opponents for half a dozen goals for the second successive Saturday.

PREMIER DIVISION champions Bay Athletic took full advantage of their nearest rivals all being involved in cup games to extend their lead at the top to six points.

A pair of second-half goals from Brighton Mugadza earned a 2-1 win over Brighouse Town Reserves, who had Joe Swallow on target.

At the bottom of the table, Hunsworth were heading towards only their second league victory after Lee Brook gave them a 1-0 lead at fellow strugglers Hall Green United.

But the hosts earned a late penalty and Chris Callaghan converted it to earn a point.

Salts put their promotion ambitions on hold to secure a DIVISION ONE CUP semi-final spot with a 6-0 drubbing of Halifax Irish.

Lee Grice netted a hat-trick for the hosts, with Kyle Berry (2) and Mat Newall backing him up.

A goalless first half was followed by seven after the interval as Bay Athletic Reserves edged a 4-3 win at Littletown.

Dwayne Laycock, Aidan Schofield and Lee McKeown netted for the hosts but they were outscored by Nick Shaw (2), Karl Jones and Kelvin Gayle.

With Salts and Littletown involved in the cup, Ventus/Yeadon Celtic and Emley Reserves took advantage to climb into the top two DIVISION ONE places.

Ventus/Yeadon moved top on goal difference as strikes by Adam Turner, Gareth Clinche and Anthony Hannan gave them a 3-2 success at Eastmoor.

Emley were 4-2 winners at Westbrook YMCA thanks to two second-half goals from Chris Prasher and others from Scott Hargreaves and Ashley Brothers.

An unbeaten run of three wins and three draws in their last six games has seen West Horton move up to second in DIVISION TWO, although they had to settle for a point in their latest outing.

They travelled to bottom side Tingley Athletic Reserves full of confidence but were held 1-1 after leading for much of the game through Ross Briscoe.
