COWLING emphasised their promotion worth in Division One of the Skipton Body Repair Centre Craven League.

They won 10-2 at next-to-bottom Bradley to go eight points ahead of second-placed AFC Colne, who lost 3-2 at Carleton.

Luke Barker led the way with six goals for the leaders, Craig Gregory (2) and substitute Rory Entwhistle also being on target.

But while promotion looks probable, the title might not be for Cowling, especially if Rolls Reserves win their four games in hand.

Chris Hogg was man of the match for Bradley, whose initial aim must be to catch Bingley Juniors.

Cononley Sports, inspired by gong winner Jake Manditsch, have risen a place to third in Division Two after an excellent 3-1 home win over second-placed Pendle Renegades Reserves.

Leaders Hellifield Sports lost for the first time this season

In Division Three, fifth-placed Sutton lost 1-0 at home to ninth-placed Salts Reserves.

* Cross Hills Reserves did the Craven League proud in the Keighley & District FA Supplementary Cup, taking Steeton Reserves to extra-time before going down 5-2.

Will Knight (3), Ben Clarkson and Sam Rooke netted for Steeton Reserves.
