Review of the results from Tuesday matches in Divisions 4,5&6 in the 10-Man League


Golcar Lib B and New Mill A swapped places at the top of the Division 3 table after both won their Tuesday fixtures this week. New Mill taking over top spot after an 8-1 home win over Paddock I&C whilst Golcar Lib B had a good 7-2 away win at Springwood but the aggregate was tight 136-134 to Golcar Lib, which left the two losing teams occupying the relegation places.
Linthwaite Hall and Slaithwaite recorded their first wins of the season to go mid-table. The Slaithwaite result aided by meeting a 9-man Kirkheaton C&BC A team who they beat 7-2. The first win for Linthwaite Hall coming away from home as they saw off Holmfirth A 6-3 and that pushed them up into the top half of the table.
Lindley Lib B lost for the first time this season against Thorpe Green who were winning for the first time with a final 6-3 scoreline.


The Division 4 top of the table clash saw the leaders Kirkheaton Con B see off Huddersfield Recreation Club 7-2 who drop 5 places to 6th as a result. The Cons team were promoted last season from Division 5 as were Brockholes B who are handily placed in the top four after a 5-4 home win over Lockwood Con B who sink into the relegation places for now.
The Rugby Club go second after a 9-0 home win over Milnsbridge B who take over bottom place from Lockwood Con B who move up one place. The Marsh Derby match was a close affair with the home team, Marsh United B edging past the Liberal Club 5-4 with a 123-120 aggregate scoreline clinching the majority of the points.


Broad Oak B retain the Division 5 only unbeaten record with a 6-3 home win over New Mill B. A very good 8-1 away win for Netherton Con B at Dalton ensured they stay second in the table. A second Hemplow team failed to field a full team again this week (their 6-man team had the same shortfall) and that cost the 10-man B team points in their match at Kirkheaton C&BC B as they went down 2-7 as they slipped into the bottom half of the table.
