LEPTON Highlanders kept their bid for West Riding County Amateur League Premier Division football firmly on course with victory at Halifax Irish.
But they were made to work hard for their 4-3 success by the First Division’s bottom side.
Ash Flynn netted twice, with Paul Pyke and Kitson Gayle also on target for Jimmy Martin’s team.
Lepton, who have a 13-point lead over Overthorpe at the top of the table, are preparing for three semi-final showdowns, with Clitheroe side Rimington first up in the West Riding FA Challenge Cup at Woodlesford tomorrow week, April 4 (7.30).
It’s Scholes in the Huddersfield FA Challenge Cup at Woodfield Park on Friday, April 13 (5.30).
And the County Amateur League First Division Cup clash with Hunsworth has still to be arranged.
AFC Emley’s second string suffered a 4-1 First Division home defeat by Ventus/Yeadon Celtic.
