Lowly Lower Hopton made Yorkshire Amateur Supreme leaders Athletico work hard for their 2-1 home win last Saturday.

Athletico led 1-0 at the break but were given a scare thanks to Bailey Fulton’s second-half strike but goals from Steven Hollingworth and Brendan Maltby secured the three points. Third-placed Toller turned a 1-0 half-time deficit at home to mid-table Calverley Unitd into a 2-1 victory thanks to goals from Kaisar Ali and Andrew McHugh.

In the Premier Division, Beeston Juniors OB leapfrogged visitors Morley Town AFC - and third-placed Phoenix - into second place in the standings after a ding-dong tussle that ended 4-3 in the hosts’ favour.
