Phil Gathercole was in superb form with all four goals for Calverley.

Luke Craven and Si McQuiston gave Farsley Celtic Juniors the lead against Old Centralians but a defensive slip salvaged a point for the visitors in a 2-2 Division One draw.

New club AFC Heckmondwike beat Gildersome Spurs Reserves 6-3, with Jamie Wasley firing five goals.

In Division Two, Sandal Wanderers were 7-3 winners against Gildersome Spurs III, while St Bede's Reserves lost 5-1 at home to Morley Town. The prolific Jordan Northin had given St Bede's a first-half lead.

Heckmondwike GSOB suffered a thumping 10-0 defeat against Beeston OB Reserves in Division Three.
