Kippax Sundays were in sensational goal-scoring form at home to Colton but were also leaky at the other end.

While Colton were hit for six, the visitors did manage to strike four times themselves through Ashley Bell, Tom Flooks, Andrew Halfhead and substitute McAuley Walker. It finished 6-4.

Goals from Ryan Mottley-Henry and substitute Dominic Ingram were not enough to save Seacroft WMC’s blushes at Leeds Met FC in an outing that finished 4-2 to the hosts.

Again, only three games survived in Division One, Hunslet Club Sunday and Garden Gate drawing 2-2, Oulton Athletic seeing off New Armley 7-4 and Wykebeck Arms edging New Inn 3-2.
