Clayton coach Richard Hesle-tine has targeted tomorrow's visit to Westgate Redoubt as a must-win game in the battle to escape relegation from the Pennine League Premier Division.

His team are bottom but a moderate run of success could catapult them up the table into the safety zone.

The return of goal-kicking prop John Parkinson from a shoulder injury could hold the key but second-row forward Chris Hillam is the latest casualty and will miss out due to a damaged shoulder. Westgate were going great guns at the top until an abandoned match at Brighouse Rangers resulted in a number of lengthy suspensions.

Queensbury's championship aspirations will be tested at leaders Drighlington.

'Bury, who were out of sorts in last week's narrow Presi-dent's Cup tie victory over Greet-land All Rounders, welcome former Sheffield prop John Bruce back into the side following the breakdown of his proposed move back into the professional ranks with Hunslet Hawks.

In Division One, Victoria Rangers get the chance to have a pop at leaders Halifax Irish, who lost their first game to Dudley Hill last week in the Powergen Challenge Cup.

Meanwhile, Hill travel to high-fliers New Earswick, hoping to dish out another shock result while West Bowling A, who are without experienced forward Bob Benn, are at fellow strugglers Thornhill Trojans. Birken-shaw go to St Joseph's with both teams level on eight points each, hoping to move further up the table. Bank Top Harriers are at last back in league action with a Division Three home game against Lindley Swifts, and Undercliffe travel to York Acorn knowing a win will keep them on course in the neck-and-neck title race.

Division Four Wyke are at old rivals Brighouse Rangers A. The Russell Way outfit have no first-team game, so the black and whites will have to be on song to repeat their convincing home win.
