Joe Wood bagged two consecutive hat-tricks as Eccleshill United's under-11s posted back-to-back victories.

Four goals from Wood in the first game against Scholes and an individual strike by man of the match Josh Hyde earned Eccleshill a 5-0 win.

Wood followed up in the second fixture by taking the man of the match honours for his treble in a 6-0 home triumph over Albion Sports. Toby Riley, Josh Hyde and a brilliant strike from Tom Oman completed the tally.

Eccleshill's under-13s continued their unbeaten run with an 11-0 romp at Shipley Lions.

Defender Billy Storey was instrumental in helping keep a clean sheet as Daanyal Nazir rattled in five goals, supported by Gareth Lamont (3), Peter Booth, Arslan Mahmood and Kyle Child.

The club's under-15s surrendered their unbeaten record 3-0 at Long Lee, despite some great play from man of the match Ahmed Mohammed.

Eccleshill's under-eights came up against top side Nab Wood and lost 4-1, despite an heroic performance in goal by Levi Henderson-Lee and a 20-yard piledriver from Callum Ellis.

Bradford Park Avenue Titans under-tens gained full revenge for a recent 0-0 KEYBURY LEAGUE draw at Shipley Pumas by returning to hammer Shipley Jaguars 7-2.

Apart from a ten-minute spell early in the second half, when the Jaguars scored twice, Avenue dominated throughout and Luke Fletcher hit a hat-trick.

Connor Rhodes, who scored twice, and Samuel Kelemen also played key roles, with defender Kelemen's goal being out of the top drawer. Bobbie Lea Cowens completed the rout.

Shipley Lions under-nines held on for a 4-3 victory after leading 4-1 at Menston thanks to two goals apiece for Joshua Dracup and man of the match George Love.

And Shipley Tigers under-nines needed a late goal from man of the match Jonathan Senior, who headed in a Luke Gott corner, to maintain their unbeaten record 1-0 at Menston.

It was also 1-0 to Shipley Lions under-tens at home to title-chasing Menston Rangers, with the game being won in midfield.

A neat one-two secured the points midway through the second half and it needed good work by defenders Ryan Cavanagh and man of the match Will Herd, together with outstanding goalkeeper William Bowie, to keep the score down.

Thackley Warriors had to settle for a 2-2 draw after twice taking the lead in their top-of-the-table under-nines battle with Westwood Jets through goals by Ollie Sharp and Rhys Allan.

There was more joy for Thackley Crusaders under-nines as they beat Westwood Dolphins 4-1 after a goalless first half, with Callum Churm scoring a hat-trick.

Daniel Grimshaw added the other Thackley goal, while Ben Stockdale was named man of the match after dominating midfield.

A first-half treble from Eisa Faulding set Bradford United's under-sevens on their way to a convincing 5-1 victory at Kings Park Sharks.

An own goal early in the second half offered Kings Park a lifeline but a late brace by Jack Holroyd secured the win.

United's under-eights grabbed their first win of the year as Liam Brook converted Mason Kirby's cross for the decisive goal in a 1-0 verdict at Stanningley Albion.

Kirby and Joel Steele both struck a post in the second half as United dominated, with Kietan Shergill taking charge of midfield.

The United under-tens came away from Otley with a 1-0 victory over Otley, the goal coming from man of the match Connor Williams.

Billy Raistrick gave United's under-nines an early lead but they were eventually swamped 6-1 as BD3 United piled on the pressure in the second half. Danyal Yasin grabbed a treble for BD3, taking his season's tally to 28.

United Lizards were also overpowered, losing 7-1 to Campion as only a good display by keeper Danny Shackleton kept the score to single figures.

Rhys Raistrick netted the consolation goal, while Ryan Craven and Chris Sampson also did well for United.

Joel Sutcliffe inspired Kings Park Juniors under-eights to a fifth consecutive victory as goals by Ethan Davies (2) and Dane Casserly accounted for Long Lee 3-0.

Stand-in goalkeeper Liam Singh helped Albion Sports under-tens to a great 3-2 win at second-placed Long Lee.

Defender Singh took over after Stephen Fearnley fell ill and made two brilliant saves to preserve his side's advantage.

Nadeem Khan scored twice and Ryan Singh was also on target for Albion, with Zain Mushtaq running the show in midfield.

Eldwick Juniors under-eights put in a great defensive effort to beat Gomersal 3-0 thanks to goals from Ben Nicoll, Isaac Joloaso and Callum Grainger.

Title-hopefuls Pool under-11s routed Albion Sports 8-0 despite the best efforts of Ketan Dharni, who excelled in goal and saved a penalty. Hassan Meah, Abdul Muttalib and Muaaz Furqan went close to claiming a consolation goal.

Vision Juniors under-nines B wrapped up the HUDDERSFIELD LEAGUE title with four games still to play after beating Dewsbury 2-0.

The Vision youngsters have won all 18 games they have played, having finished fourth in their debut season last year.

Midfielder Jordan Kitching scored the decisive goal as Bradford Tigers under-11s won 1-0 at third-placed Gargrave in the CRAVEN, AIRE & WHARFE LEAGUE.

Kitching netted after a typically thrusting run but he was matched in the will-to-win department by Luke Duckett, Billy Joe Rhodes and man of the match James Townend.

Ryan Watling scored four times as he led Albion Sports under-11s to an 8-1 GARFORTH LEAGUE victory over Kippax Athletic.

Further goals came from Jas Singh (2), Jaimes Dover and Kamron Basi completed Albion's best performance of the season.

Idle Juniors under-12s reached the final of the WEST RIDING GIRLS LEAGUE with a 4-2 win at Batley Blaze.

Roisin Gartland, Danielle Camp, Megan Greenwood and Rachel Clegg provided the Idle goals, with Georgia Tate in top form as well.

Zoe Hester, Lauren Tate, Rosie Dawson and Amelia Andre also played key roles in an excellent performance.
