The weather severely affected the league programme and the only matches to take place were all in Division Three.

And, both the top two sides - who are both unbeaten - widened the gap with their other rivals by claiming maximum points.

Burgoynnes made it 11 wins out of 12 when they accounted for Freemasons 4-0 with Andrew Blake scoring twice along with Melvyn Hunter and Lee Laidler.

They remain one point ahead of Ball Alley who extended their 100 per cent record when making it 11 wins out of 11 when they held off the Horse & Groom 4-2. Two goal Martrin Pritchard, Michael Finlay and Tony Boyd got the goals that mattered with Shaun Wilson and John Charlton replying.

It promises to be some contest this Sunday at Ball Alley when they have Burgoynnes as the visitors.

In the only other match to escape the weather, Burnhope claimed maximum points with an odd goal in nine win over Scotch Arms.

Harkness Trophy

Leadgate Golden Lion are through to the final of the Harkness Trophy, but must wait to see who they will meet.

The Lion roared through with a solitary goal win over Stanley Central in this Division One Cup competition.

It looked as if extra-time would be necessary until John Dettmar scored the all important winner just five minutes from time.

The other semi-final between Stateside and Blackhill Comrades fell foul of the weather.
