OTLEY Town went into the weekend's game at Hunslet FC with five first choice players out through injury or in one case, unavailability.

DESPITE running away with a 6-0 victory against the league's bottom side at the weekend, Town spectators will have been frustrated with the number of spurned opportunities throughout the tie.

FOR sixty minutes, the game between Otley Town and Featherstone was well in the balance, before Town turned on the heat to claim a 6-1 victory.

OTLEY secured three points with a late goal in a 2-1 win against relegation-threatened Salts made Otley on Saturday.

THIS was a game between two of the form teams from Division One, Brighouse having won four out of the last five and Otley Town three out of the last four.

IN awful conditions Otley Town picked up three more valuable points at the expense of bottom club Sherburn, and, in so doing, climbed to sixth in the table; just three points shy of the automatic promotion places.

MAYBE it was the build up of pressure surrounding the third meeting within the last six weeks between these two sides, but for sure this was an extremely scrappy game, which neither side deserved to win.

OTLEY Town missed the opportunity to get back into the promotion race with this disappointing performance at high flying Shelley.

OTLEY Town deservedly made it through to the Wharfedale and District FA Challenge Cup Final for the first time in four years where they will meet the winners of the outstanding tie between Cup favourites Rawdon Old Boys and Baildon Trinity Athletic.

OTLEY Town finally bowed out of the County Challenge Cup at the last 16 stage against a very competent West Yorkshire Premier League side.
