RESULTS after a three-week break can go against form – and that was certainly the case in the Spen Valley League's Memorial Trophy.

Girlington, who are fifth in the Premier Division, began the new year in style, causing a minor upset with their 6-3 home win over Savile Youth, who are two places higher.

Mohammed Qasim (3), Umar Zahoor, Asif Iqbal and Kamran Khan were on target for the hosts,.

Meanwhile, Athletico – who are bottom of the top flight – showed promotion-seeking Inter Batley they might have work to do if they reach the top flight.

Mahine Malik and Abdul Ghani both bagged braces for Athletico in their 5-2 victory, with Shazad Ali also on target.

Premier Division leaders Palestino eased to a 3-1 success over struggling Dewsbury West Side Reserves thanks to Zain Mushtaq, Abdul Qayum and Theo Bujra.

Shock of the all-Division One clashes was basement boys Howden Clough's 5-3 home victory over Marsh, with Joe Hampshaw (3), Danny Saville and Shane Thornton being Clough's heroes.

First Division leaders George Healey also did well to hold Dewsbury West Side, who are second in the top flight, to a 2-2 draw.
