In the West Yorkshire League, Premier division leaders Horbury Town overran second-bottom hosts Gomersal & Cleckheaton, 9-0. There were goals braces for Gibril Bojang, Kieron Stephenson and substitute Abdou Bojang while Robert Evans and Luke Playford were also among the scorers. Sub’ Michael Wood salvaged a point for third-placed Horsforth St Margarets with a 53rd-minute equaliser after mid-table hosts, Field, had led 1-0 at half-time. Harry Cullingford and Christopher Softley struck in the second half to give six-placed hosts Rawdon Old Boys a 2-0 win over determined visitors Whitkirk Wanderers, who sit fourth-bottom in the standings. Third-bottom Robin Hood Athletic were never really in the running at home to neighbours Carlton Athletic. The visitors ran out 5-0 victors thanks to goals from Robert Bartram, Sam Graham, Adam Simpson, Charlie Thompson and sub’ Joseph Lewis. Seemingly untouchable Division 1 leaders Silsden AFC WY kept the three points flowing with a comfortable 5-2 win at seventh-placed Otley Town First. Luke Brooksbank ended the afternoon with a hat-trick to his credit with Hassan Ali and Connor Erangey also getting on the scoresheet for the victors. Second-placed East End Park WMC First, meanwhile, didn’t have things anywhere near as comfortable at 10th-placed Swillington Saints Welfare First. Cris Bussoe gave Park a 1-0 half-time lead but the division’s high flyers were denied more goals by determined hosts. Lowly Featherstone Colliery First also belied their status in the division by giving Shelley First a good run for their money before eventually losing out 2-1. Liam Berry and Matthew Williams were on target for the sixth-placed hosts with Jake Hogg netting to keep Colls in contention. n Wetherby Athletic Seconds edged a penalty shootout with Tadcaster Magnets Reserves 5-4 after the sides had been deadlocked at 3-3 at the end of normal playing time. The sides also couldn’t be split at half-time when they were both one goal to the good. Joe Hannan, Tyler Rieglein and Daniel Wenborn were regular-match scorers for Wetherby. n In the Wakefield and District FA Cup, West Yorkshire League outfit Hall Green United saw off Oak Soccer United, 3-0. Jamie Miller struck twice in the first half to give Hall Green a two-goal cushion and Luke Heaton added a third after the break to secure the result and a place in the next round.
