Craven Challenge Cup

Horton FC 2 Waddington FC 5 AET

This was a magnificent effort by Horton against Premier leaders Waddington. A typical David and Goliath cup tie, full of good football and played in an excellent sporting manner.

The Horton side gave their best, never allowing Waddington to settle despite going behind to a disputed penalty converted by Robert Lloyd on five minutes.

Undeterred, the home team equalised within five minutes with a smart Mark Harris header and he gave his side the lead two minutes later when he converted a penalty.

Cokell's cross shot hit the post on the half hour before Waddington began to apply pressure on the home goal missing some gilt edge chances before Horton Man-of-the-Match Neil Lodge cleared off the line ensuring his side had a 2-1 lead at the break. The game remained very even swinging from end to end before Waddington's outstanding player Martin Kane scored a cracking goal from 25 yards giving Gavin White in the Horton goal no chance.

From this point on, Horton defended well and fully deserved the tie to go to extra time, however understandably they tired and Waddington took advantage to score three goals through Fletcher, Snowden and Lloyd.

Ingleton FC 5 Gargrave AFC 0

As the score line suggests, Ingleton were too strong for a Gargrave side missing key players.

Gargrave were under pressure from the start, falling behind after five minutes.

They gradually increased their involvement in the game, hitting the woodwork on two occasions, but it was the home team who scored two further goals for a comfortable 3-0 lead at the half-time whistle.

Ingleton had strength in every department, scoring a fourth goal before being reduced to ten men when Darren Blacow was shown the red card, yet his side still had sufficient resources to score a fifth.

Chris Bibby scored a hat-trick and Jonathan Boadle a brace.

Embsay FC 5 Sedbergh Wanderers FC 2

The individual performance of the day came from Dave Greenwood, who scored all five goals for Embsay.

Sedbergh took an early lead through Elliot Oxley and this prompted the home team into action with Greenwood scoring the first of his goals.

He soon followed with his second and as the break approached the visitors went close to equalising.

Up the slope in the second half Embsay's change of shirt enhanced their play and as Embsay took charge Greenwood soon completed his hat-trick, his fourth goal coming courtesy of a long up field clearance when he out paced the defence to volley home from 18 yards leaving the Sedbergh side disheartened.

His excellent afternoon's work was completed when he struck home the fifth, but Sedbergh never relented and former Craven Minor Elliot Began scored a late consolation for the visitors.

Barnoldswick Town FC Reserves 5 Rolls Royce FC 0 Rolls were never in this replay after the euphoria of the first game when they should have taken advantage of a Town off day. Town dominated this game from start to finish with the result never in doubt.

Colne United 3 Bentham FC 2 AET

It wasn't the best of matches between two very evenly matched sides, who struggled to have any rhythm. Colne took an early second half lead with Bentham drawing level through James Earnshaw to take the tie into extra time.

Grassington United FC 2 Cononley Sports Club 0

Kevin Newhouse once again found the net to score the third goal for the home victory.

Bentham FC 2 Grassington United FC 4 AET

This game was a credit to both sides, resulting in the comment from referee Ray Akrigg: "This game was a great advert for reserve team football which was played in a hard but sporting manner."

Grassington had the better of the first half scoring through Dale Berry. A head injury to Nick Breckon meant a reshuffle for the visitors, and Bentham took advantage to equalise through Thomas Burns taking the match into extra time.

Rolls Royce FC 1 Rimington FC 3

The beaten finalists from last year Rimington were given a good game by Rolls Royce who have yet to win a game this season.

CRAVEN LEAGUE

Hellifield Sports FC 2 Oakworth Reserves 2
