8 FEB – CBC PREMIER – Sixers hit six to go second, but Earl go 13 points clear – Wadsley Bridge Sixers lived up to their name by beating Woodman 6-1 to go second. It took Sixers just 3 minutes for Ethan Wilkinson to put Sixers in front and another 4 minutes was enough for Danny Barnsley (right) to make it 2-0. Woodman didn’t cave in though and just before half-time pulled one back with a Ryan Hall free kick.

Sixers wasted no time in the second half and restored their two goal lead when George Rudd brought down a high ball before slotting home. Woodman were struggling to hold their opponents and a second o the game for Danny Barnsley came when he curled the ball into the top corner. A fifth came soon after when Rob Farrell scrambled the ball home before Leo Plenty completed the scoring with a 25 yard drive into the corner.

Sixers are still 13 points behind leaders Royal Earl after Earl beat Chapeltown RBL 3-1. The first half saw Earl make the perfect start when Theo Wilson headed home from a corner to give his side the lead. Despite missing several key players Chapeltown grew into the game and got a deserved equaliser when Charlie Cope’s ree kick beat the wall and squirmed under the keeper.

Earl soon regained the lead when they were awarded a penalty, expertly put away by Connor Chapell (left) and moments later Brandon Bagley netted his first for Earl to double their lead. Chapeltown tried to get back into the game again, but the Earl defence proved too strong and Earl took another step towards the title.

Up to fourth is Wickersley CC after a Ben Thornton (right) goal gave them a narrow 1-0 victory at Jubilee Rangers. Both sides struggle to create any chances in the first half and it was the same after the break until Matt Claxton delivered a pinpoint cross for Thornton to head home. Wickersley had a second disallowed for offside, but fortunate to hold onto the points after two Jubilee efforts came back off the woodwork.

The two other CBC Premier games were postponed after heavy rain over the previous few days.

8 FEB - DIVISION 1 – Wisewood hit back against Shark to share the points – Wisewood came from two down to share the points in a 2-2 draw with Baby Shark in the only game played in Division 1 after all the rain in the past week. A Daniel Ramsey goal gave Shark a half-time lead and they doubled it after the break with a Lanzel Reid strike. Shark were then reduced to ten men after Julian Lawrence was shown a red card and Wisewood took full advantage to claim a draw with two Will Osgathorpe strikes.

Crookes collected three points after they were awarded victory over Brunsmeer after Brunsmeer couldn’t raise a team. The other two Division 1 games were postponed due to the weather over the past week.
