Wadsley Bridge WMC claimed just their second point of the season, as they held Arundel to a 1-1 draw at Chaucer Sports Centre.

Division One

High Noon have had a strange week, as they played-out consecutive goalless draws. The league leaders firstly drew with second placed Packhorse Inn on Tuesday night, before and then were held at home to Hackenthorpe B on Sunday. The draws will not bother High Noon too much though, as they have won the Division One title.

Division Two

Mosborough leapfrogged Woodhouse JFC to go top of the Second Division on Sunday, as they beat their rivals 4-0 at Mosborough Miners Welfare. Mosborough now have an anxious wait. They have finished their fixtures and lead the standings, but if SWD win their remaining two games they can snatch the title out of their grasp.

U21 Division

Double Top U21 ended a run of four straight losses, as they beat Wisewood Hounds 4-3 at Halfway Junior School on Tuesday night. They could not follow that up with a positive result on Sunday though, as they slipped to a 3-1 home defeat at the hands of Sharrow United U21.

Two goals from Danny Phelan inspired Wisewood Hounds U21 to a 3-0 home win over fellow mid-tabler's 

Mosborough U21 on Sunday. That loss was Mosborough’s third in a row, as they were also downed 2-1 at home to Brunsmeer U21 on Thursday night.
