Wakefield/Spen/Selby League round-ups: Threesy does it Crackenedge resume where they left off

Crackenedge have led the way most of the season, partly due to their number of games, but they’ve gone three points clear at the top after they beat Ossett Common Rovers 5-3 away from home.

Crown Gawthorpe remain second despite dropping points away at Healdfield who’d been on a seven-game winning streak leading into Christmas.

The game finished 2-2 which sees the two sides remain level on points.

Gawthorpe do have a considerable advantage on goal difference, however, and also on games played having played two fewer than Headfield and leaders Crackenedge.

Elsewhere in the Premier Division, Crofton Sports won 2-0 at home to Eastmoor and Prince of Wales battered bottom-of-the-table Fieldhead Hospital 8-0 away from home.

Division One was also back in action this week and Rock Inn have continued where they left off with their perfect record this season.

Rock Inn extended their perfect league campaign to 11 games with a 4-1 victory over Ossett Dynamos which sees them go nine points clear at the top.

Royston Cross were in cup action this weekend but they remain second, and third-placed FC Prince were not in action.
