- By ADAM WHITESIDE Sports Correspond­ent

BRIGHOUSE Sports Under 13s were big winners in the Macron Huddersfie­ld Junior League.

They hammered Meltham 12-1 with Wall getting on the scoresheet four times for the hosts.

There was also a hat trick for Galtress, braces for Heavyside and Freibach and a goal from Kirkby.

The victory now means Brighouse sit just five points behind league leaders Pudsey.

Kirkburton Under 12s maintained their five-point lead at the top of Division Two with a dominant display as they overcame Upper Hopton Reds 9-2 at home.

Deighton are Kirkburton’s closest challenger­s but the leaders have a game in hand.

Fellow Under 12 Division Two side Leeds Juniors suffered a Cup upset in as they were narrowly edged out 2-1 by Brighouse Panthers of Division 4A.

The Panthers are unbeaten in Division 4A but there are 12 league places between themselves and Leeds.

Kirkheaton came out on top in a 13-goal thriller against Brighouse Blues in their Under 15 Division Three clash.

The hosts’ 9-4 victory helped them climb above their opponents and they are now four points clear of the relegation zone.
