Steeton seeking semi-final berth in divisional cup

6:00pm Thursday 7th March 2013 in Sport By Philip Rhodes

After Steeton’s setback last week, when the West Riding County Amateur League Premier Division leaders were defeated for only the second time this season, the Chevrons take a step back from their title bid on Saturday.

They try to book a semi-final place in the Premier Division Cup when Marsden are their opponents at their Summerhill Road ground.

Whilst Steeton are involved in cup action, they will have one eye on the progress of their rivals for the championship.

Third-placed Bay Athletic, who are ten points adrift and have played six fewer games, entertain Campion at Ossett Town's Infield Stadium - their temporary home for the rest of this season, while Salts, who are in second place eight points behind, host their Bradford rivals Tyersal at the  Playing Fields, Saltaire.

Last season’s champions Ovenden WR host bottom-placed Overthorpe at Natty Lane.

Quarter-final ties also dominate the Division One Cup, where three of the top four sides are involved.

Leaders Hunsworth entertain Wibsey at East Bierley, second-placed Huddersfield YMCA visit Tingley Athletic and fourth-placed Wakefield City are at home to Halifax Irish.
