DISMISSALS meant that West Yorkshire Association PREMIER DIVISION leaders Field played with nine men for the last 20 minutes but they still gained a point in a 1-1 draw at home to Wetherby Athletic.

The visitors played well in the first half but Field went in front via Curtis McMahon, Wetherby equalising just before half-time. Field were then reduced when Andy Hawker was sent off for two yellow cards and Nick Doherty received a straight red for a late challenge.

The Bradford side's lead has been reduced to 11 points but first-team coach and secretary Barry Dunne said: "A draw was a fair result."

Another 1-1 result was the clash between Otley Town Reserves and Baildon Trinity Athletic Reserves in ALLIANCE DIVISION TWO.

Baildon started strongly, with right midfielder John O'Connell breaking through and rounding the home goalkeeper, only to see his shot hit a post from a tight angle.

After a few half-chances for both teams, Darren Rands broke the deadlock for Athletic with a fine left-footed shot from just outside the penalty box.

The second half started with Otley in control but it still took them until ten minutes from time to equalise with a well-drilled shot that went just inside the near post.

Baildon's player-manager Mick Haran said: "All in all the draw was a fair result, with good football being played by both teams."

Meanwhile, Hoi-Pin Truong scored after 20 minutes and Ian Horrocks after 65 minutes to secure a 2-0 win for Wyke Wanderers Reserves at Rothwell Town Reserves.

In ALLIANCE DIVISION ONE, Field Reserves had Ben Baker and Jack Webster on target in a 3-2 defeat at East End Park Reserves.

Baildon Trinity Athletic remain second in DIVISION TWO, despite their scheduled match at Mount St Mary's being postponed because their opponents were due to play a West Riding County Challenge Trophy cup tie.

The DIVISION ONE match between Wyke Wanderers and Stanley United was also postponed.
