THACKLEY Reserves surrendered top spot in the Lancashire League following a 6-3 defeat away to their Harrogate Railway counterparts.

Joe Keen, Krishan Patel and Dave Wright netted first-half goals for the hosts but although the scores were level at the interval, Railway then pulled clear to take over at the summit.

The Northern Under-19 Alliance Pat Rice League Cup tie between Silsden and Liversedge was postponed as Sedge had five players called up to the West Riding County FA squad.

The tie between Askern and Thackley was also put back because of floodlight problems.
