WEST RIDING COUNTY CUP action saw last season’s finalists West Bowling eliminated 2-1 at Leeds opponents Seacroft.

The visitors, who only had ten players available, took the lead after 20 minutes through Chris Hanney but Seacroft equalised ten minutes later and went on to win through a hotly-disputed late strike.

Hare & Hounds/Power visited Spen Valley team Olde Pack Horse and a brilliant display of goalkeeping by Alex Stephenson helped the Bradford team to a 6-3 win.

It was all square at 3-3 after 90 minutes thanks to an inspired substitution that saw Alan Morley Junior notch an equaliser.

Morley then added his second during extra-time, with other goals coming from Alan Morley Senior, Karl Butler, Adam Griffin and Anthony Hannan as Hare & Hounds reached the fifth round for the first time.

The all-Sunday Alliance tie between Queensbury and Campion Park Avenue went the way of the visitors 5-3. Trinity Brown and Chima Manondo both struck at the double, before Miles Smith made the game safe.

Mill Lane A rediscovered their goal touch by hitting double figures against Victoria Rangers in the INTERMEDIATE CUP, finally emerging 10-3 winners.

Stephen Holdroyd’s treble was supported by Liam Charles (2), Josh Milner (2), Dave Pemberton, Curtis McMarne and Andy Maltby.

Karl Fawcett netted twice as Mail Coach overcame an early 2-0 deficit to beat Wharfedale Triangle League side Commercial Esholt 5-3 in the SUNDAY TROPHY.

There were hat-tricks for Michael Kelsey and Danny King, backed up by a John White strike, while Jamie Kitchen and Ben Cahill hit Ravenscliffe’s consolation goals.
