Sunday Leagues round-up: Celtic eye cup double after seeing off Kirkstall

Having already booked their place in the Leeds & District FA Sunday Jubilee Cup final, goals from James Banner and Stephen Johnson kept alive their prospects of lifting another trophy.

Celtic – who are third in the Championship with games in hand – will play the winners of this coming Sunday’s other President’s Trophy semi-final between West Leeds Wortley and West Leeds Armley. Kirkstall will get their chance to exact revenge over Celtic in the Jubilee Cup final at Bracken Edge on April 24.

In the league, recently crowned Barrass Trophy winners Chapeltown Fforde Grene further strengthened their claims for a double with a narrow 3-2 away victory at Richmond Hill in the Terry Pears Premier. The home side raced into a 2-0 lead thanks to goals from Dave Newsome and James Cowlam but runaway leaders Chapeltown hit back with three goals in the last 20 minutes from Kane Clark, Keiron Goodison and Tenque Fishley.

Harehills WMC were well tested by bottom-club hosts West Leeds Farnley before running out 2-1 winners. West Leeds went ahead with a goal from Deacon James but the clubmen hit back to level before half time with a Ricky Smith goal. Harehills wrapped up the winning points with a second goal from Smith 15 minutes from time.

Championship Division leaders West Leeds Wortley were too strong for bottom-club visitors AFC Woodcock and ran out comfortable 8-2 winners.

Jordan Webb led the way with four goals with Mark Ferguson not far behind as he hit a hat-trick with the other goal coming from Matty Wheeldon. Martin Roebuck netted both the Woodcock goals.

Halfway House Bramley were 5-2 winners when visiting neighbours Bramley Villagers with double-up Jordan Heyes, Kurtis Heyes, Joe Penman and Aaron Storke scoring. The Villagers were helped with an own goal to go with an effort from Mo Ishaq. Two League Cup quarter-finals were played in the Wharfedale Triangle League with Crossflatts Village romping to a 6-1 win at Malt Shovel and FC Cuedos scraping a 1-0 verdict at Keighley Athletic.

Ilkley Town moved top of the Premier with a 2-0 win at home to former leaders Keighley Town, who still have games in hand, while Yeadon Veterans strengthened their bid with an 8-1 crushing of visiting Horsforth St Margaret’s. Sky Bet won 2-1 at Salts while, in the pick of Division One action, Cullingworth Youth stayed top with a 9-0 cruise at Shipley Town Reserves.

Wakefield Sunday League

A brace from Jake Turfrey helped Ossett Central to a 4-0 win over Miners Arms to lift the Championship One League Cup, writes Nick Cary.

Alex Ferguson pounced on a stray Miners Arms back pass to fire Ossett in front.

It was as a frustrating and error-ridden performance that went from bad to worse for Miners Arms as another poor back pass led to Turfrey rounding the goalkeeper to double the lead.

Turfrey got his second courtesy of a weak headed clearance before Jake Irvine sealed the win with a poacher’s effort.

Hemsworth Miners Welfare Reserves were also celebrating as they defeated Thatched House 6-3 to win the Championship Two League Cup.

A double from both Liam Haller and Will Kemp and a strike from D’arcy Pugh gave Hemsworth a commanding 5-1 half-time lead with Craig Lowe on target for Thatched House.

Haller completed his hattrick to put the game beyond Thatched House with goals from Stef Furness and Joe Ingram too late to force a comeback.
