11 Sep - Around The Leagues

Boroughbridge AFC

Wyke Wanderers maintained their three point lead atop the West Yorkshire League Division One on Saturday afternoon with a seventh win in eight and fifth in a row against Whitkirk Wanderers. Their gap at the top is over just one side now, however, with Rawdon Old Boys keeping pace through a four nil win over Altofts but Whitkirk and Featherstone Colliery dropping back, the latter without a game. Towards the bottom Howden Clough remain bottom of the pack but picked up their first three points of the season courtesy of a two one win over Oxenhope Recreation. Brighouse Old Boys join Oxenhope in the bottom three with Leeds Modernians just a point above the drop zone.

Into the Alliance Division Two where all sixteen teams found the net at the weekend, just some more so than others. Highest scoring encounter of the day went to Hall Green United Reserves in a best of seven win over bottom of the table Old Centralians Reserves, whilst also hitting four where Huddersfield YM Reserves who occupy top spot on 13 points alongside Aberford Albion Reserves. Goals galore and then some in the Harrogate & District League Division One, finally, with no fewer than four teams hitting seven goals or more and an average of just over eight goals per game. Perhaps the biggest result, however, was a first defeat of the season for early pace-setters Bedale AFC Reserves by the odd goal in seven at Dalton Athletic. Beckwithshaw Saints Reserves, Harlow Hill Reserves and Thirsk Falcons Reserves all smashed in seven for collective reply of just two.

9 Sep - Result: Unlucky Thirteen For 'A'

'Bridge 'A' started their season in emphatic fashion at Aldborough Road this afternoon, smashing home five goals with four different names on the scoresheet.

Boroughbridge AFC, meanwhile, were also amongst the goals as they hosted Leeds Modernians with a clean sheet ensuring the three points. Paul Eagling fired in a brace across the two halves with John Rimmer adding a 57th minute effort. 'Bridge's fourth win of the season sends Daz Ekin's men back up to sixth in the West Yorkshire League Division One table and to within three points of third. It wasn't to be a case of two out of three, however, as 'Bridge Reserves conceded a late winner at Altofts Reserves. Wayne Fisher had brought Neil Greer's side back on terms after 'Bridge had trailed by a goal at the interval only for the hosts to snatch the tie late on. 'Bridge drop a place to eleventh in the Alliance Division Two with the loss.

Boroughbridge AFC

Two fixture sets within the last seven days mean there continues to be plenty of movement as the West Yorkshire League Division One table takes shape. Early leaders Rawdon Old Boys lost their perfect start to the season at Whitkirk Wanderers last Wednesday evening meaning its a new name atop the table as Wyke Wanderers took control with a two nil win over Rothwell at the weekend.

Colliery themselves were five two winners over Leeds Modernians. Towards the bottom Howden Clough were unlucky not to add a second point to their tally with defeat by the odd goal in nine at Colliery last Wednesday but after another loss at Wetherby Athletic on Saturday remain bottom of the pack with just a single point.

It's a three-way tie atop the Alliance Division Two, meanwhile, as Kirk Deighton Rangers Reserves, Otley Town Reserves and Aberford Albion Reserves all picked up their fourth wins in five at the weekend. The biggest scoreline, however, went to Whitkirk Wanderers Reserves who were fourteen (14) one winners against Wyke Wanderers Reserves, with the latter Wanderers remaining bottom of the table and yet to notch their first point.

Boroughbridge AFC

Whilst the Harrogate & District League and West Riding County Womens League have yet to get fully underway, it's been a busy opening few weeks for the West Yorkshire League with a pair of games each week for most sides.

Wyke Wanderers join them at the top of the table with a single defeat, to Old Boys, in their opening five. Down at the bottom of the table Howden Clough are the early strugglers with just one point in their first four and suffered the biggest margin of defeat of the season thus far at the weekend in a ten two home loss to Aberford Albion who lay claim to being the division's lowest ranked side with a positive goal difference following the win.

It's a three way tie atop the Alliance Division Two with Otley Town Reserves, Kirk Deighton Rangers Reserves and Aberford Albion Reserves each having lost one of their opening four encounters. In the case of the latter two that single defeat, however, was by a large six two margin at Whitkirk Wanderers Reserves and Wetherby Athletic Reserves respectively. Yet to get off the mark are Sherburn White Rose Reserves and Wyke Wanderers Reserves each with four defeats in their opening four games.

Many happy returns from all that the Club to stalwart David "Slonka" Ekin, who recently celebrated a major birthday.

18 May - Lucky Seven: mish mash Champion

Boroughbridge AFC

This season's Lucky Seven title is decided with a week to spare as mish mash retains his crown.

The selections for that final week by druids include the League One Play-Off Final and Arsenal's game in the race for fourth in the Premier League. If you think you've got what it takes to predict the scores of seven matches, head over to the Lucky Seven page and get your entry in for free now.
