Irish hit the front through Adam Robinson before their lead was doubled by Luke Collins who then completed his hat-trick to make it 4-0 at the break.

Good pressure from Bridge saw them reduce the arrears but that only served to galvanise the Irish and they made the game safe with further goals from Jake Janecki and Collins with his fourth.

Irish followed that up with a 9-0 success at Northowram Rams to make it three wins out of three.

Luke Collins added another hat-trick to his tally with Kaelin Rice (2), Louis Smith (2), Janecki and Josh Rhodes also on target.

Hebden Bridge Saints Whites bounced back to form with an 8-2 success over Crossley.

Thomas Hosker ended the deadlock with a tap-in after which Rhys Tynan added to the scoreline after earlier hitting the bar.

Crossley pulled a goal back from a counter-attack just before the half time break but with five goals already chalked up, two from Ben Grannon and a second from Hosker, Bridge remained firm favourites.

The second half saw Alec Miller unleash a first class strike from the edge of the box on his debut and after Crossley snatched a second goal on the counter-attack, a frantic period of play resulted in Henry Fitzsimmons and Miller adding to the goal tally.

CROSSLEY under eights continued their winning start to the season with a 3-0 victory over Northowram Colts.

Goals from Rourke Woolley, Jonas Trowel and Mason Giggall guaranteed the win while Greetland Gold went behind against HAFC but stormed back to secure an 8-1 win.
