WHITE Eagles are back on top in the Bradford Sunday Alliance League Premier Division.

The early-season front-runners returned to pole position after an 8-2 victory over struggling Peel Park at Myra Shay.

After the previous week's mauling from West Bowling, Eagles bounced back in the first half by scoring four goals. Peel Park had stand-in keeper Stephen Jarockyj to thank for the margin not being higher. They only managed one shot on target themselves.

The visitors added a fifth on the restart and three more by the finish as they relaxed against the hosts who came more into it and scored via Matthew Dempsey and Anthony Hannan.

Eagles' goals came from Jordan Missin (3), Marcus Edwards (2), Danny Brown, Mark Betts and Levi Maturine.

However, it is tight at the top of the division with only two points separating the top six.

Defending champions Thornton United shared the points and four goals at newly-promoted Oakenshaw in a terrific game.

Oakenshaw took the lead in the 30th minute with a well-taken goal from Ben Magee. But United had gone ahead within 10 minutes through goal machine Delroy White and Chris Lever, only for fourth-placed Oakenshaw to get a late leveller from Andrew Atkinson.

Bradford Moor recorded their second victory of the season by defeating George Hotel 7-3 with a treble for Abid Khan and doubles for Mohammed Ismael and Sultan Khan. Sandy Lane and Buttershaw Celtic shared six goals and the points.

Ventus United got off the mark with a 4-3 triumph over Thornbury Celtic. Goals for the winners came from Michael Brame, Thomas Briggs, Declan Cousins and Arron Sagar with Zohaib Iqbal, Robert McDonald and Ithisham Yasin replying.

Olympic had a 4-1 victory at Swaine Green to sit top of the First Division, a point ahead of Bradford Phoenix. As well as Olympic, third-placed Undercliffe Cricket Club are also unbeaten.

Division 1A leaders Thornton United Reserves have a 100 per cent record, as do Lyceum in Division 1B, except the latter also have a goal difference of 26, trouncing Wrose Albion 9-1 at Arkwright Street in their latest outing.

George United were losing 4-0 at half-time against Division 2B front-runners FC Victoria, but showed their class by scoring three in the second half via Danny Pattison (2) and Nicky Reynolds.
