Group One -- Griffin All Stars booked their place in the quarter finals in beating Dabs Direct 1-0, courtesy of a Simon Robinson goal.

Other scorers Peter Nicholson 2, and one each for Scott Barlow and Darren Pearson.

Group Two -- Crew XI look favourites to join CCS Jolly Carter in the quarter finals, after their 2-1 win over Bolton Rec B, Stephen Jordan and Steve Jones their scorers, Bill Courtney netting for Rec B.

Group Three -- Surprise result of the night saw First Division outfit Bolton Rec A beat Premier side Burnden Wanderers 3-2, Neil Boardman put Rec A Ahead early in the first half, Neil doubled his tally just before the interval. Paul Swift still had time to reduce Rec lead with a well taken goal. Peter Consterdine levelled the scores midway through the second half. Their joy was short lived when sub Sean Lennon netted the winner for Rec to register a well deserved victory. Group leaders Monteraze clocked in with another good all round performance, to defeat Dentech 4-1, Ian Horrocks found his shooting boots with a brace, and one each for James Greaves and Jason Smiley, with Graham Walton scoring Dentech's consolation goal.

Group Four -- First Division champions Tag, although playing with a man short, were taken to the cleaners by the much improved Index, who went nap with the Boardman brothers Steve and Gary in fine form. Steve notched his second hat-trick of the season (Index's fourth goal, Steve's third was a 20 yard bullet giving keeper Steve Shillito no chance), and Gary chipped in with a couple of gems. Index and Edge Tavern both go through to the quarter finals.

SUNDAY SUMMER PREMIER

Monteraze Sealed the championship with an emphatic 8-0 win over JC Engineering. Goal machine Jason Smiley went nap and leads the chase for the Golden Boot Award with 22 goals, 12 more than his nearest rival. John Whittam 2 and James Greaves the other scorers.

Second placed Barnstoneworth United lapse of form continued against Readey's, the later registering a very hard fought for victory that secures their place in the Premier for next season, Paul Rockcliffe the scorer of that vital goal. Not for the first time Readey's owe the form of their keeper Frank Kearney, who broke the hearts of the United lads with some fantastic saves.

Church Hotel went into their game against York full of confidence after their great win over Barnstoneworth last week. But soon fell behind with York striker Peter Cooper taking full advantage of a defensive error, Peter scored a second to wrap things up. Philip Turner netting a late goal for Church. Church need a point from their last fixture against Able Auto, who need a win to avoid the drop into the First Division. They looked set for a good result against Alliance Windows, leading 2-1 with a brace of goals from Mark Craig but Alliance fought back to notch a good 3-2 win, with goals from Steve Riley 2 and Darren Firth. Should Barnstoneworth's lapse of form continue into their final fixture against York, Alliance still have a chance to take the runners up spot.

SUNDAY SUMMER FIRST

With just one fixture to play to complete the Sunday First Division Programme, it's perm any two teams from six for promotion to the Premier Division. Pickerings Lifts and FC Elite are favourites, both with 21 points. Pickerings, on paper at least, having the easier came against bottom placed All Nations, while Elite have a tough game against Bolton Recreation, who with the right results could finish up champions. But then again X Records and BOCA Seniors on 20 and 19 points play each other, and either of them could end up champs, even sixth placed The Farmers have a chance on stealing runners up spot. Only the two bottom teams, Montserrat and All Nations are out of the equation, and they could have a big say in where the title ends up, so we are in for a very exciting day, with the final results still in abeyance until the final whistle. AUGUST 13

FC Elite 2 1 BOCA Seniors 1 -- a very important game for both teams. BOCA Seniors started well when Dave Coleman took advantage of a fortunate deflection to put his side in front in the second minute from the restart. He nearly doubled the score when he saw a good effort rebound of the post. Elite having wasted two earlier goal chances, equalised in the fifth minute through Salman Gangat. Fayaz Musa put Elite in front with a well taken goal after 11 minutes. this proved to be the winning goal.

Bolton Rec 3 Montserrat 3 -- a six goal thriller. Montserrat took the lead through Damien Cusik. A brace from Noel Clarkson put the Rec ahead, Mont's James Hall levelled the scores, and a second from Cusik regained the lead, but a late coal from Mark Worthington earned his side a well deserved point.

All Nations 1 X Records 1-- a shock looked on the cards with All Nations leading via a great goal from Carl Calo, with little time left All Nations were reduced to six, when player manager James Mitcham took a nasty fall. The Records took full advantage of this and equalised through Dave Lewtas.

Pickerings Lifts 0 The Farmers 0 -- although goalless, a good game, and considering the importance a very clean game, goal chances were few and far between, what shots found their way through were dealt with ease by both keepers. SUNDAY PREMIER DIVISION
