Stanningley Albion have been crowned Division Four champions after picking up seven points during a hectic week of Bradford Sunday Alliance League action.

Albion, who were beaten in the Amateur Cup final by Mailcoach a week ago, bounced back with a 2-0 win over IMS Celtic before edging out bottom side Jubo Dhol Juniors 3-2.

IMS are now second after a 6-3 win at Pudsey United, who remain fourth.

The Division 3A title chase will go to the wire after Tim Studdards’ 25-yard thunderbolt earned third-placed Hudsons a 2-2 draw at Unity and Brad Holland’s dipping volley helped leaders Bradford Phoenix win comfortably at Peel Park Avenue.

At the foot of Division 3B, Salthorn secured only their third win of the season, coming from behind to beat Aire Athletic 2-1.

At the other end of the table, Stocks Lane United overcame Ring o’ Bells 4-1 to keep them in the promotion picture.

Beldon Sports face Stocks Lane Rangers next week to decide third spot in Division 2B.

Beldon had to rely on Boltwood brothers Andy and DJ to rescue a point in a 3-3 draw at home to Heaton, whereas Stocks Lane hit five unanswered goals past Nab Wood Juniors.
