STORTHES Hall’s hopes of lifting the West Riding FA Challenge Trophy ended with a 3-0 final defeat by Whitkirk Wanderers at Woodlesford.

In the West Riding County Amateur League Premier Division, Kirkburton enjoyed a 3-1 derby win over Meltham.

But Marsden lost 1-0 at Hall Green United.

Burton had plenty of chances against Meltham before finally breaking the deadlock in the 38th minute when Nick Reid drilled a shot home from Lee Bradley’s cross.

Adrian Smith got the second in the 55th minute and Brendan Aspinall then headed home from Adam Wilson’s corner before Meltham grabbed a consolation.

Huddersfield-based leaders Bay Athletic have a crunch home clash with second- placed Campion tonight.
