Powerful forward Jeremiah Witter scored five goals for the second week running as Sandy Lane A made it two wins from two in Division 13B of the Craven, Aire & Wharfe League.

Sandy gave a superb team performance to beat Bradford Tigers 10-1. Man of the match Joe Carroll scored twice, while Bradley Hirst, Alex Sabelli and Aidan Leach also got on the scoresheet.

Midfielder Jordan Kitching climbed off his sick bed to score Tigers’ only goal. James Townend and Joe Gartland also shone.

Eccleshill stay unbeaten after hitting back from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 at Burley, Toby and Mason Riley getting the goals.

Campion Under-17s notched the only goal in a tight affair at home to Keighley Shamrocks, who tried to catch the hosts offside from a free-kick deep in the second half. However, Jordan Aird timed his run perfectly to slot the cross home.

Leaders Silsden Reds Under-15s lost their unbeaten record in going down 4-0 at a physical Bramley Phoenix, while Sandy Lane won 8-1 at Bolton Woods in the same age group, goals coming from Rees Windle (3), Lewis Witter (2), Jack Hallam, Liam Green and Sam Fridington, Liam Andrews getting the man-of-the-match award.

Prospect Juniors are off the mark at under-12 level after defeating Shipley Tigers 4-3. Liam O’Sullivan (2), Dan Woffenden and Johnny Durkan were on target for Prospect, who had man of the match Tom Lewis to thank for an outstanding late penalty save.

Wilsden Under-12s gained revenge for a recent league defeat by defeating Bolton Woods 3-1 in the first round of the West Riding County FA Junior Shield.

Woods opened the scoring after a high ball was misjudged and the ball was turned in at the far post, and held the advantage until the interval.

In the second half, Wilsden stepped up a gear and when Pip Greetham was tripped in the area, Sam Murphy scored from the spot. The game remained close for the next 15 minutes but Greetham scored Wilsden’s second goal from a cross by Murphy.

Woods pushed for the equaliser but the Wilsden defence was led superbly by man of the match Joseph Jagger and, with five minutes remaining, Callum Whitehouse made it 3-1 with a half-volley into the top corner.

East Bowling All Stars Under-13s lost 7-1 at home to Cumberworth in the Huddersfield RCD Junior League. However, Lewis Naylor, David Morhan, Lewis Jackson, Shaun Syms and Rawan Newman shone for All Stars, for whom Parandeep Sheena scored.

Josh Finan, Jack Kipling and Lewis Vlater were on the mark for Bradford United Under-13s in their 7-3 defeat against Rastrick, while eight-man United Under-12s only went down 4-3 against Gomersal, Pemphero Kallingama scoring three. Man of the match was Liam Nicholson.

Under-par Vision Under-12s lost their first match of the season 7-4 against Westend, James Morris (2), Tom Bentham and newcomer Bradley Oares netting for Vision.

However, Vision Under-11s won by the same score against Liversedge, Tyron Sagar (6) and Bradley Collington netting for the winners in a tough contest. Callum Fletcher was man of the match.

Goalkeeper Nathan Goodall was in superb form for All Stars Under-11s in their 5-2 win at Shelf, Leon Schofield, Kaine McPherson and Leon Hudson also standing out. Jordan Hobson bagged a hat-trick for the winners, Lewis Oddy and Nathan Armstrong also netting.

Westwood Jets Under-11 Jets overcame dogged and previously unbeaten Howden Clough 4-2.

In a dominant first-half performance, Dominic Anderson and Callum Armitage put the Jets ahead, while individual runs from James Leedale and Connor Thompson restored the two-goal advantage each time the home side pulled a goal back.

Wyke Wanderers Under-Eights A went down 8-0 against Drighlington A in a friendly, Owen Khan, Connor Barran, Charlie Smith and Lewis Evans defending resolutely for the losers, while Zachary Walsh and Charlie Bailey worked hard in midfield and man of the match Ethan Downey tried in vain up front.

The B team contest also went to Drig, but this time by 7-2, Jack Hewitt-Hill and man of the match Bailey Clarkson scoring.

Eccleshill Under-11s fought back from 4-2 down against Fairbank in the Keybury League and looked like they had earned a draw, only to fall to a late winner. Nathan Henderson Hall got a brace for the losers.

Bradford United Under-11s marked their seasonal home debut with a 6-1 victory over Shipley Juniors.

Leon Taylor, Liam Carney and Josh McKernon (2) made it 4-0 in the first half, Billy Raistrick and Omar Powell extending that to 6-0. Man of the match was Jake Wilkinson.

United’s Under-Nines had a few worrying moments before securing a 3-2 victory at Pudsey in the Red Division. Asa Mitchell and an Eisa Faulding 25-yarder put the leaders 2-0 ahead before Pudsey netted.

Kian Hutchinson restored United’s two-goal advantage, although Pudsey did score again. Captain and man of the match George Wood defended well for United, Jordan Moorhouse and Jack Gilroy also playing well.

United also went down 2-1 at home to Skipton LMS in what was a fantastic match. LMS took the lead and then had their goalkeeper to thank for keeping them ahead.

However, he couldn’t save Owen Clark’s penalty with six minutes left. Mason Kirby then hit a post for United before LMS netted again, and there was still time for Clark’s effort to hit the bar off Kirby’s head. Jonathan Holmes was United’s man of the match for excellent defending.

Scholemoor Juniors Under-Tens got back to winning ways by scoring eight without reply against Queensbury Celtic, Hayden Moor being outstanding in a five-goal display. Adam Edmondson (2) and Jamie Denning completed the tally.

Bradford United Scorpions Under-Eights went down 6-2 against Queensbury A. Scorpions trailed 4-0 before Ali Arshad and Frankie Brimacombe scored. The man of the match award was shared between Arshad and Jack Fairlie.

United Under-Eights B took the lead at Queensbury Colts when a long clearance from Matthew Ham to Alex Gibson was flicked on to a determined Jack Wright.

Josh Wilson made a great save to keep United in front, only for them to be pegged back just before half-time and they conceded a well-taken second, Colts also missing a penalty.

East Bowling All Stars Under-Eights lost a superb match 4-0 against Bradford Tigers, keeper Jamie Smith, Nial Armstrong and Rowan Khan doing well for the losers.
