Triumphant Ovenden Riding high

Ovenden West Riding completed the West Riding County Amateur League Premier Division and League Cup double with a 3-2 victory over Bay Athletic at Overthorpe.

Andy Gregory twice gave Ovenden the lead, only for Brighton Mugadza to equalise with two penatlies.

With both sides looking for the winner it fell to bizarre own goal from Bay’s keeper.

Graham McLachlan and defender Andy Salm collided with each other as they tried to clear the ball and diverted it into the net to edge the Halifax side ahead.

Ovenden had the opportunity to make the tie secure when they were awarded a penalty six minutes from time, only for the Bay keeper to make an excellent save to deny Gregory his hat-trick.
