Firstly, Jubilee Premier Division high flyers Kippax Sundays pitted themselves against the divisions bottom side Whitkirk Wanderers in their Sanford Cup clash at Longdike Lane.

Meanwhile, all games in Division One were postponed due to waterlogged pitches across the area.

Games in Division Two all faced the same fate as the conditions took hold.

Two games were able to escape the elements in Division Three, Sporting Pudsey eased their way past Bramley Amateurs 6-3 at Fleet Lane.

This sees Sporting Pudsey move up to third, just two points off FC Rothwell 2nd at the top of the table.
