Top-of-the-table Fairbank got sweet revenge on T&A League rivals West Bowling when they won an excellent match 2-1 in bad conditions.
Naveed Hussain put the league leaders in command after ten minutes with a scrappy goal and, although both teams had chances, it took an own goal by defender Nasser Hussain to bring the cup holders level after 80 minutes.
With two minutes to go, Jinaid Taj hit a 30-yard winner for Fairbank.
Abundant Life Church shocked league champions Bradford All Stars by going 2-0 in front with a brace from Shafeeq Quaseen.
The visitors began to press and two Mohammed Junnayd goals either side of the interval pulled them level.
All Stars piled on the pressure in the second half and further strikes from Haz Naveed, Zahid Khan and a beauty from Khalil Sheraz gave them the three points.
Tosef Arshad was the difference between the two teams in the match between Sporting Athletic and Thornbury Youth.
He hit five goals for Thornbury in a 7-4 victory. Adnan Ali and Showell Udin also got on the scoresheet for the visitors, with Joel Olivera (2), Gurtal Bhambra and Wdon Periera on target for Athletic.
Robert McGovan was in outstanding form for East Bowling in their seven-goal romp over Ventnor. There were hat-tricks from Carl Conoville and Steven Hollingworth and a goal from Paul Canning.
