BRADFORD Olympic have left the West Riding County Amateur Football League (WRCAFL), which drops the roster of clubs to 11.

Their resignation means four clubs have exited - for various reasons - over the course of this season and leaves the league's Step 7 status in serious doubt.

The FA requires a Step 7 league to have a minimum of 14 competing clubs, but the WRCAFL has fallen further below this threshold with Olympic's demise.

Bradford Olympic, who came into being when Bradford FC merged with Bradford Sunday Alliance side Olympic at the start of the season, resigned from the league before their home game with Lower Hopton on Saturday, February 9.

Olympic cited the reason for resigning as not being able to field a team for their remaining fixtures.

The league has decided under the FA and League Rules, to award the points to their opponents who they were scheduled to play in the run up to the conclusion of the season.

This includes: Lower Hopton, Route One Rovers, Golcar United, Ovenden West Riding, Ryburn United and TVR United.

TVR and Golcar will welcome the points as they continue to battle it out at the top of the Prem.

But TVR, who had two games in hand on leaders Golcar, let the best possible chance they had of piling the pressure on their rivals when they failed to beat strugglers Toller.

The Bradford sides came up against each other on the 3G pitch they share for home games and it was honours even at 1-1 come the break.

Toller - technically the away side on the day - piled on the pressure in the second half though to run out comfortable 5-2 winners, thanks to a brace from Karman Khan and goals each for Hadeeem Gafoor, Hassan Khan, and Umar Zahoor.

TVR's only scored one themselves - courtesy of Haseeb Khan - with the other an own goal.

It was goals galore at Beck Lane between Littletown and visitors Ryburn United.

There were hat-tricks for both sides - Pat Sykes for Littletown and Christian Silkstone for Ryburn - in a game that ended 7-4 in the home side's favour.

Joe Jagger, Luke Griffiths, Adam Forbes and Dave McDonald added the others for Littletown, while Owen Wilkinson netted Ryburn’s other goal.

TVR remain in second, despite third-placed Littletown's victory in their goal-fest tie.

But, their grip on Golcar is slipping as they now only have one game in hand on the leaders, due to the Huddersfield outfit's commitments in the cup at the weekend.

Goals from league top scorer Buddy Cox, Doran Jordan, and Domonic Moorhouse saw Golcar beat hosts AFC Lindley 3-0 to book a place in the semi-finals of the Huddersfield FA Challenge Cup.

Back in the league, Steeton Reserves won 3-1 at Ovenden West Riding.
