TORRENTIAL rain on Friday evening into Saturday morning over parts of Bradford, Dewsbury, Leeds and Huddersfield caused the postponement of six scheduled West Riding County Amateur League fixtures.

They included the clash in the Taylor's Timber Premier Division between high-flying duo Campion and Huddersfield YMCA at the AA Van Hire Stadium at Manningham Mills, which had pools of standing water all over the pitch.

Only one Premier Division fixture was played as Golcar United, who on the previous night had beaten West Yorkshire Premier Division side Shelley 2-1 to reach the final of the Huddersfield FA Challenge Cup, entertained Steeton.

Despite taking a first-half lead through Sam Rooke, Steeton failed to capitalise and with two goals from Max Leonard, added to one each by Mike Kitson, Sam Hillhouse and Nathan Tayo, Golcar ran out 5-2 victors, with Alistair Morgan netting Steeton's second.

With the meeting of Honley and Overthorpe SC, the top two in Division One, postponed, third and fourth-placed DRAM Community and Newsome both cashed in with big victories in their bid for one of the two automatic promotion places.

DRAM had to come from 1-0 behind at home to Wibsey at the interval following a Jason Clarke-Williamson strike to win 4-1 with two goals for Craig Thompson and one each from Lee Turner and Darius Matteson.

Newsome, in their first season in the league, posted their intent to gain promotion to the top flight with a 7-1 trouncing of Steeton Reserves.

Joel Bryce grabbed four of the goals and Nick McMahon (2) and Adam Hill were also on target for Newsome, while Mark McGee netted the single consolation.

Campion Reserves, who won 4-1 at home to Ventus-Yeadon Celtic in their first league meeting back in October, repeated the scoreline as the sides met in the return fixture.

Ryan Firth scored for Celtic on his return to the side following a two-match suspension but Carl Trennery, Tom Bentham, Chris Helliwell and Damian Hields powered Campion's second string to the three points.
