The Westmorland Football League returned with a vengeance after the Christmas break in what proved to be a high-scoring afternoon of action.

In Westmorland League Division One, Keswick continue to dominate, but were made to work hard for their win as they won 5-4 at Penrith's Reserves. Richard Bannister and Andy Rigg scored a brace each with Tom Atkinson also on the score sheet.

Kendal United go second in the League, after a 3-1 win at Kendal County's Reserves. Stu Mc Donald, Andy Lockhart and an own goal put United 3-0 up, before Kris Clough grabbed a late consolation for County.

Division One champions Appleby picked up a much-needed three points after a 3-1 win at Wetheriggs United. Dylan Critchley, Jordan Crawford and Matt Branthwaite scored the goals.

Thomas Blenkharn scored four times as Windermere whitewashed Ibis 9-0. Reece Barnes also weighed in with two goals while Sam Fletcher and Joshua Graham completed the rout.

Kendal United Reserves went top of Westmorland League Division Two following a comfortable 6-1 home win over Dent. Matt Kennedy scored twice, with Dillon Hine, Joe Shorrock, Kyle Hansen and James Pattinson completing the scoring.

Charlie Robson scored a brace as Keswick's Reserves won 5-3 at Endmoor, James Halton and Alistair Speed among the scorers for the hosts.

Coniston climb up to third after a 5-1 win over Langwathby Utd.

In Westmorland League Division Three, league leaders Burneside Reserves were held to a 0-0 draw with Appleby's Reserves.

AFC Carlisle whitewashed Penrith Academy in a 10-0 win, Penrith Royal defeated Greystokes Reserves 6-2, and Windermere's Reserves won 3-2 at Kirkoswald's Reserves. Dylan Parkinson scored twice with Jack Barker also on the score sheet.

The result sees Windermere climb up to fourth in the division.
