Sports go through with Iqbal double

The club's young star Amjad Iqbal quickly gave Albion the lead. John Hawkes, whose penalty saving had proved crucial in the FA Sunday Cup, saved another penalty before Iqbal's second goal late on saw Albion through.

There was a late fracas when one of Clive Freeman's players made contact with Albion defender Richard Clarke. Both were sent off despite Freeman protesting Clarke's innocence and after the game Taj Singh was sent off for querying the decision.

On Sunday, Albion are involved in another quarter final, this time in the national FA Sunday Cup away to the Birmingham team, Edward Celtic.

They are also in the quarter finals of the league cup and the Bradford and District FA Sunday Senior Cup.

Father and son were on target for Queensbury in their second Premier Division win in eight games over Wyke Wanderers.

The 5-1 result moves Queensbury from eighth in the table to fourth.

Like the game the previous week Queensbury hit Wyke early with two goals in the first ten minutes. Sixteen-year-old Steve Mason hit his side's fifth goal from the penalty spot, emulating a goal earlier by his player-manager father Terry.

Victoria Rangers move out of the bottom four for the first time with a 2-1 win over Stanley Road.

Rick Worrell and Steve Pearson put Vics in the driving seat. Denied a third goal by a crossbar Vics had to defend stoically after Road reduced the arrears and pressed hard for a point in the second half.

Fairweather Green, second in Division One, took their unbeaten run under new manager Adie Howard to nine games with a 5-0 win at West Bowling.

It was Howard's run that set up Paul Exley for the opening goal, and a second goal from Greg Watts on the stroke of half-time hurt Bowling who faded in the second half.

The one disappointment for Howard was that he lost his record of scoring in every game he has played.

East Ward, unbeaten until last week, suffered a second defeat at leaders Craven Heifer.

Ward opened the scoring, with Anthony Cuff equalising before the break.

Ward could not hold Craven in the second half, Cuff completing his hat-trick in a 5-1 win which leaves Craven five points clear of Fairweather Green who have two games in hand.

While Peel Park and Calverley Victoria drew 0-0, Wrose Bull stay 13 points behind leaders Craven with five games in hand after a 5-1 win over Thornto.

After six defeats and six draws Thornton look to have blown their promotion chances.

Quarry led Quarry Gap three times in Division 1A only for the visitors to equalise each time.

Gap's last equaliser in the final action of the game came from a headed own goal.

Battling Malta Court gave leaders Eccleshill United one of their hardest games of the season.

United, who have already got more points than last season, ran out 2-0 winners, one of the goals coming from 35 yards from veteran defender Brian Cookson.

Undercliffe CC, 13 points behind Eccleshill, did their promotion hopes no harm with a 4-2 win over Fountain who produced late scares for the cricket club after Undercliffe had built up a 3-0 half-time lead.

Steve Daykin completing his hat-trick killed off any further Fountain comeback hopes.

Bank Top ended Springfield's double hopes in the Alliance Intermediate Cup quarter final.

After the teams had turned round goalless the strong wind blowing down Thornton Valley proved crucial and Top booked their semi-final place against Pudsey Royal with goals from Stewart Compton and Neil Magee.

In the outstanding third round game Albion Sports Reserves reached the quarter final with a 3-2 victory at Dudley Hill Rangers.

Albion looked well in charge when they went into a three-goal lead in 30 minutes.

But Hill recovered through left back Mark Norton - his first goal of the season - and Craig Charwood.

Despite having the bigger share of second-half play Rangers could not get an equaliser.
