WITH a number of teams involved in West Riding Cup matches, the Premier Division programme in the Craven & District League was much reduced, with only three matches taking place.

Current leaders Oxenhope Recreation had a 6-4 victory over Grassington United after an epic encounter, Intake went down to Cross Hills 4-1and Carleton put up a brave fight before losing to Cononley Sports 4-0.

It will be back to League action tomorrow, when the two in-form teams in the Premier section, Oxenhope Recreation and Keighley Lifts both have away matches, at Grindleton and Intake respectively. Skipton LMS will be looking to maintain their unbeaten record when they visit Cononley Sports.

Division One leaders Lothersdale Athletic face a tough task at Colne Shepherds and Horton will be hoping to replace them at the top when they face a home match against Skipton Town.

Intake Reserves are leaders in Division Two and will be looking to bounce back to winning form when they visit Keighley Lifts Reserves and Chatburn will be quietly confident that they can keep pressure on the leaders by taking points of Cross Hills Reserves. Gargrave are waiting in the wings and their team should be too good for Barrowford United.

Grassington United Reserves face a tough match at Pendle Athletic if they are to keep their unbeaten record intact and Waddington Reserves will be looking to close the gap on Cononley Reserves by taking points from their match at Bradley.

Hopefully referees will be able to keep back-words to a minimum and most matches will have an official referee.
