HEAVY rain over the latter part of the week caused the postponement of all the scheduled league games in both the Premier and Division One sections of the West Riding County Amateur League.

The re-scheduled West Riding County FA Challenge Cup tie between Tyersal and Huddersfield YMCA also fell victim to the weather.

Steeton’s decision to switch their second-round tie at home to Horbury Town to the 3G pitch at Greenhead High School in Keighley, to ensure the game was played, backfired.

They ended up losing 2-1, despite Lee Reilly bagging a second-half goal.

Golcar United booked their passage into round three by winning the penalty shoot-out 4-3, after they and their opponents Ossett Albion Reserves finished the game level at 2-2.

Halifax Irish also missed out on a place in the next round, when they lost 3-1 at home to Carlton Athletic, of the West Yorkshire League.

Thornton United, with two goals apiece from Danny Walker and John Selby, beat Garforth Rangers 4-2 in the West Riding County FA Challenge Trophy.

They subsequently booked a third-round trip to either Golcar United (thirds) or Robin Hood Athletic Res in December.

All the three games scheduled for play in Division Two, were completed, as leaders Golcar United Reserves were held to a 1-1 draw at Salts Reserves. With Andrew Sadowskyj scoring for Salts and Max Leonard for Golcar, Route One Rovers who beat their opponents Bradford FC 5-1 back in August , completed the double with a 7-1 victory.

Abdul Hakimaz netted four, adding to strikes from Hassan Ali, Awais Khan, and Hassan Malik , with Hassan Khan scoring for the visitors.

TVR United had Faisal Shabir, Asif Iqbal, Nasser Hussain and Mohammed Jamal Mahmood on target in their 4-2 home win over Lower Hopton Reserves.
