Sweet sixteen - plus one more

24/ 3/2005

IT WAS a case of count on one hand, switch to the other, then take both shoes off to keep a tally of Langley Rangers score in their Middleton League Premier Division match against St Clares last weekend.

Rangers finished with 17 and Ward's goal for Saints was little consolation.

Mathews led the spree with four.

Hudson, Worsley and Strower bagged hat-tricks, Munson claimed a couple, and the other two came from Morris and Thorpe.

Alliance were also among the goals, in moderation when you compare their win to Rangers. Thornton, Hampton, Sinclair, Ashcroft and Molphin claimed the goals in a 5-0 away success over Royal British Legion.

Oddfellows registered their first league win of the season after drawing 10 blanks.

A goal from Jepson was enough to beat Carters Rhodes.

There was no joy for Black Bull who have yet to win a point in Division One.

They were beaten 4-2 at home by Old David.

Railway shared four goals with Cardinal Villa.

Blackley Rangers continued their unbeaten season in Division Two with a 5-3 away success against FC Radclyffe.

Studley (4) and Monyet netted for Rangers.

Humphreys, Hoggard and Dempsey were on target for Radclyffe.
