THE Leeper Hare York and District Football League Reserve 'B' top of the table clash proved to be one-sided.

Danny Franklin opened the scoring on 24 minutes and a Ken Davies penalty doubled the lead before the break.
After second-half goals from Mike O'Shaunessy and Franklin, Rowntree introduced substitutes Pete Sinclair and Luke Brownbridge who both contributed with goals. John Beech with his eighth goal of the season hit Wigginton's consolation.
Haxby ran riot against Stamford Bridge, Paul Jacobs and Dave Turnbull both hitting hat-tricks in a 9-0 win. Mike Taylor (2) and Dave Thompson completed the scoring.
