THACKLEY Reds are celebrating a double with a difference.
Not only have they won the Craven, Aire & Wharfe League's Under-16 C Division but they have also topped the 100-goal mark.
Harvey Usher's goal at nearest rivals Bradford United brought up the three figures, with Callum Churm netting the winner in a 2-1 victory that preserved Thackley's 100 per cent record. Keeper Peter Harland was the Reds' man of the match.
Bolton Woods Sabres were held for 15 minutes by visitors Crossley before cutting loose to climb to third in the Under-13 B Division table.
Theo Cokewright cut in from his wing and finished neatly just inside the post, while Alex Gibson added a second goal from a fine passing move and Lewis Melvin made it 3-0 before half-time with a tidy penalty.
However, the Sabres really hit their straps in the second half with further goals from Cokewright and Gibson, with Kaylum Johnson (2), Thomas Cokewright and Ben O'Shea completing the 9-0 triumph. Braden Ackroyd pulled off an excellent save to deny Melvin a second goal from the spot.
Second-placed BD5 hit the front at leaders Westwood in Under-11 C Division via Kye Robinson, only for defensive lapses to see Gauderic Totap equalise soon after the break with a thunderous shot. But Westwood then scored two more and held out under heavy pressure to win a classic encounter 3-1.
BD5 are seven points behind with six matches left but Thornton Lightning represent a threat to both of the top two as they have three games in hand and trail Westwood by ten points.
Bradford Park Avenue B were put to the sword 11-2 at home to leaders Hall Green United in the Huddersfield RCD League's Under-12 Division 5B – and only brave goalkeeping by Alistair Welch prevented an even bigger defeat.
Third-placed Wyke Wanderers were held to a 1-1 draw in driving rain and heavy wind at home to fifth-placed Pudsey in Under-11s Division One.
The pitch was also muddy but it did not dampen the enthusiasm of either side.
Pudsey had first use of the wind and came close several times, notably when Bailey Chittick was brought down in the box.
Wyke took the lead within minutes of the second half starting when Ellis Farrar beat the offside trap but the visitors equalised with about ten minutes to go via Chittick's calm finish.
Bradford & District Keybury League side Albion Sports under-eights were in 'Champions League' action at Calderdale League outfit Hebden Bridge and won 7-4.
Goals came from man of the match Shubham Rana (4), Aarian Sarai (2) and Muhammad Mustafa.
They soon got their passing game together for Rana's explosive left foot to cause damage, while Bobby Jo Metcalf was solid in defence.
Dudley Hill Rangers' under-11s were at home to Todmorden Wasps in another cross-league fixture, which had a whirlwind start with three goals inside two minutes.
Rangers scored on 20 seconds when Karlson Ogie got behind the visitors' back line and slid the ball in, only for the Wasps to reply with a tap-in and net a penalty, Anton Tavernier giving away the spot-kick.
However, the home side stabilised things with a fine headed equaliser from Spencer Dunk from a Harry Norton corner, Ogie then giving Rangers a 3-2 interval lead by lashing home a loose ball.
Karl Kwedi gave Dudley Hill clear water at 4-2 but they made it a nervy ending when Ogie tried too many tricks instead of tapping the ball home and Wasps broke away to score a third.
