BOTH semi final ties at Under-12s level proved to be anything but foregone conclusions.

Lammack Juniors were victors over Blackburn Eagles, thus reversing the two league defeats at the hands of Blackburn Eagles.

In the other encounter, Oswaldtwistle eventually overcame Rossendale Valley, but needed two second half goals to secure their place in the final.

In the league, St Anne's and St Joseph's lost their 100 per cent record when they went down 3-0 at home to fellow title chasers Barrowford Celtic.

Blackburn Utd have all but put paid to Rishton Utd's hopes of achieving any type of league success, and in the process, have made themselves joint favourites to take the section.
