Odsal Sedburgh relied on their impressive pack to lay the foundations for a 19-14 Pennine League success against Division Three strugglers Littleborough in a virtual mudbath at Odsal Rec.

Rampant Sedge forwards Luke Sellers, Alaister James and Chris Walsh outplayed and outfought the visitors' engine room.

This allowed man of the match scrum half Sean Flynn all the room he needed to inspire the threes to put four touchdowns on the scoreboard.

Wingmen Dwain Platt and Dale Graham sped in on the flanks which, together with another effort from stand-off Bryn Worsley and a try and conversion by centre Tom Middleton, supplied the cutting edge.

Not to be outdone, Flynn slotted over a late drop goal to put the icing on a cracking show.

It was a unhappy day for both Queensbury's senior sides, with the Premier Division team going down 32-14 against 100 per cent visitors Sharlston Rovers.

Yet the Wakefield-based Yorkshire Cup runners-up had to pull out all the stops to overcome a plucky 'Bury outfit.

The hosts emphasised their grit with two tries from full back Luke Brearcliffe, which loose forward Brett Marriott converted to add to his first-half penalty.

Queensbury A travelled to local rivals Dudley Hill and came across a determined and well organised side, who dominated the Division Four game to win 50-0.

'Bury went into the half-time break 24 points behind and any hopes of a revival were quickly dashed as Dudley Hill scored two tries in as many minutes from the restart.

The visitors tried hard, despite having no substitutes, with props Jimmy Wright and Danny York their best players on the day.

West Bowling A could only muster a Callum Shackleton touchdown in their 32-4 defeat at Siddal A in Division One.

It means Bowling's second string slip to fifth place, with their Halifax-based opponents leapfrogging them into fourth spot on points difference.

Bank Top Harriers are still joint top of Division Three after receiving the points without taking to the field when rock-bottom Selby Warriors failed to show up.

Wibsey Warriors' march to the Division Six title continued unabated with a 48-6 win at Cowling Harlequins.

Adams, Brain and Bose crossed for a brace of tries apiece, with Adam Moffatt scoring his first of the campaign as Wibsey maintained their 100 per cent record.
