DIVISION Two leaders Hellifield Sports have lost their first league game of the season in the Skipton Body Repair Centre Craven League.

They could only manage a Matthew Beckwith goal in a 3-1 defeat at sixth-placed Trawden Celtic Reserves.

However, second-placed Pendle Pendle Renegades Reserves also lost, with Jake Manditsch inspiring Cononley Sports to an excellent 3-1 home win.

Sports, who have risen a place to third, could well vie with Hellifield for the title.

AFC Barnoldswick are up two places to fifth after a 13-1 win at bottom club Otley Town.

Luke Scott and Cameron Yates bagged five goals each, man of the match Peter Mogford (2) and substitute Michael Blammon completing the baker's dozen.

Cowling emphasised their promotion worth in Division One.

They won 10-2 at next-to-bottom Bradley to go eight points ahead of second-placed AFC Colne, who lost 3-2 at Carleton.

Luke Barker led the way with six goals for the leaders, Craig Gregory (2) and substitute Rory Entwhistle also being on target.

But while promotion looks probable, the title might not be for Cowling, especially if Rolls Reserves win their four games in hand.

Chris Hogg was man of the match for Bradley, whose initial aim must be to catch Bingley Juniors.

Man of the match Stuart Gee (2) and Jamie Poulter were the marksmen for Carleton, who are up to fifth.

Skipton LMS were soundly beaten 4-0 at home by Trawden Celtic in the Premier Division, while in Division Three, Barlick Wanderers have risen to second after a 4-2 home win over Addingham.

Tom Duerden (2), Jonathan Davies and Daniel Driver netted for Wanderers, while fifth-placed Sutton lost 1-0 at home to ninth-placed Salts Reserves.

* Cross Hills Reserves did the Craven League proud in the Keighley & District FA Supplementary Cup, taking Steeton Reserves to extra-time before going down 5-2.

Will Knight (3), Ben Clarkson and Sam Rooke netted for Steeton Reserves.
