WITH a number of teams involved in Cup competitions last weekend there were fewer games than normal.

In the only First Division game played, Oswaldtwistle came back to something like their form of old with a comfortable 3-0 away win at Hurst Green.

In Division Two, newcomers Colne Blue Stars are finding the going really tough and after their 13-0 slaughter by form team Goodshaw United the week before, they found no joy at home to Ribchester Rovers, going down 5-1. Reserve Division leaders Worsthorne Reserves were held at home by Hurst Green in an eight goal thriller. Despite holding a 3-1 lead Worsthorne were pegged back by M Seedall who hit a fine hat trick for the visitors.
