Todmorden Athletic and Warley Blues, the top two under eights teams, fought out a tense 4-4 draw in a freezing wind at Savile Park, Halifax.
Warley took a two-goal lead but Tod pulled one back before half-time thanks to a Jack Suthers free-kick flicked home by Bailey Sutton.
Playing down the slope, a great shot from range by Freddie Priestley hauled Tod level.
Battling midfield and defensive displays from Euan Logue, Dan Adams and man-of-the match Will Hammond kept Tod firmly in the hunt.
Warley led 4-3 with one minute remaining but a quick throw-in from Priestley led to Frank Cooper pouncing for an all-important equaliser.
Martin Howard scored one goal and made three as Hebden Bridge Saints Under 16s progressed in the Huddersfield cup with a 4-0 win over Kirkheaton.
After some neat interplay between Whitelaw and Howard, Thompson received a precise pass from the latter to fire home from a tight angle.
Sterling work from Birch, Collett, Gayle and Hildred in defence meant that it remained 1-0 at half time.
Kirkheaton came back strongly but Davie made a number of fine saves.
With midfielders Callaghan, Horsfield and Pedley completing a fine overall team performance, it wasn’t long before the lead was increased.
Howard found Thompson alone outside the box with his back to the goal, but quick thinking resulted in him lobbing the ball over the advancing keeper to make it 2-0.
Howard added a third after a strong run and just before the final whistle his pinpoint corner kick found the head of Summerscales, who completed a well deserved victory.
