CROSSLEYS under nines suffered their first league defeat of the season falling 4-3 to Ryburn Reds.
It was not long before they got their noses in front when Ethan Pollard chipped Tom Garling from the edge of the area.

Ryburn went further ahead through Connor Friend (2) and Todd Holset and they would have gone further ahead but for some fine ke
eping from Garling.

Crossleys pulled one back on the stroke of half-time when Mason Butterfield found Euan Geleziunas who was fouled on the edge of the box allowing Niall Armstrong to drive the free-kick home.

Crossleys got another when fine approach play allowed Max Halsworth to fire home and they scored a third with seven minutes left when Connor Richardson, Lewis Lynch and Niall Armstrong set up Max Halsworth.

Greetland Stars bounced back in style with a 6-3 success over Beacon Rangers.

Greetland took the lead when Kieran Stevens whipped in a cross for Finley who made no mistake and Finley went close again before Greetland extended their lead through McLarnon. Stevens added a third before Beacon pulled a goal back through Jack MacDonald.

Greetland responded as Lennon thundered a shot against the Beacon bar with the rebound falling for Finley and they added a fifth as Stevens swung in a corner which was met at the front post by McLarnon.

Just before half-time, Greetland found the net again, Stevens scoring with a low shot and they started the second half looking to extend their lead.

Beacon had other ideas and pulled one back through MacDonald and with five minutes remaining, they were awarded a dubious penalty, MacDonald completing his hat trick from the spot.

GREETLAND Gold under nines ran out 6-1 winners at Ryburn Black.

Goals from Ben Wright and Luke Whitaker saw Gold take a two goal half time lead and Joseph Hilditch capitalised on increased Gold pressure with a couple of fine long range strikes.

Ryburn gave themselves hope with a goal, before Hilditch bagged his hat-trick in a move involving Alex Fryer and Whitaker.

It was left to Kyle Taylor to round off the victory with a late tap-in.

Halifax Irish Whites got off to a great start and didn't look back as they beat Warley Whites 8-2.

Irish took the lead in the first minute through Jack Chesters and Brandon Jackson slotted the second.

Jake Ogden made it 2-1 and Irish missed several chances before Brandon McGibbon got a well deserved goal to make it 3-1 at the break.

Matthew Crowther blasted in the fourth just after the interval and Jack Chesters made it five from a Crowther corner.

Crowther had a shot saved and the ball ran to Jackson who fired into the top corner to make it 6-1.

Chesters completed his hat trick from another Crowther corner and there was still time for Chesters to score his fourth to make it 8-1 before Warley scored their second through Tom Wildsmith.
