Gate in full swing with 16-goal blast
GATE'S early pace at the top of the Leeds Red Triangle League Hainsworth Premier League continued unchecked with a 16-0 mauling of Middleton Park on Saturday.
A resounding success over the division's bottom club kept Gate two points ahead of Halton Moor and Wykebeck Arms United with the season nearing the halfway stage.
Middleton have lost all 11 of their league fixtures and were never in contention against the Gate.
Halton are refusing to drop away from the title battle after fighting their way back into second place at the weekend.
A 2-1 win at Kippax Welfare lifted Halton above Wykebeck, who were not involved in Saturday's schedule and Moor will assume top spot if they win their two games in hand over Gate.
East Leeds are five points off the summit after easing to an impressive 4-0 win over Merlins, while Seacroft WMC battled to a 3-2 win in their mid-table contest with Dewsbury Road Social.
Leeds Ventura collected their first points of the season by edging a seven-goal clash with Ekhaya to leave Middleton Park stranded at the foot of the table.
Farnley Sports hold a four-point advantage at the top of the Jackson Trophies League after a narrow 2-1 win at Skinners Arms.
And their position has been strengthened by New Farnley's 4-1 defeat at Railway East Ardsley.
Leodis lie fifth after beating Squinting Cat 2-1, but Cricketers Arms are four points adrift of the rest of the division after losing 6-1 to Halfway House.
Leeds Deaf secured themselves an eight-point cushion over Cricketers Arms following their 1-0 defeat of Drighlington Adwalton.
