However, the Calder Valley side have pleaded guilty to playing an ineligible player.

It means Plummet have re-established a five point lead over St Columba’s, who beat them 3-0 last weekend. Both sides have six games left.

Division Two side Midgley United Reserves and third division outfit Stainland United have benefitted in similar fashion when their opponents, AFC Crossley’s Reserves and Brighouse Sports Reserves, failed to fulfil fixtures.
