With only one win in their last five starts, Harden’s hopes of promotion from Division Two of the Aire-Wharfe League are under threat, with Olicanian, Follifoot and Upper Wharfedale hot on their heels.

Jeremy Batty’s side should be too strong for Knaresborough tomorrow but will nevertheless have to be careful of the batting danger posed by Elias Karageorgiou and Jonathan Corcoran.

With paceman Bernard Hughes regularly among the wickets, Olicanian should maintain their challenge with victory at Illingworth while hoping that Upper Wharfedale and clear leaders Bilton take points off each other, and Bolton Villas dent Follifoot’s run of three wins from four.

Silsden find themselves back at the bottom of the division, still without a win, and it would be a surprise if they break that duck against Steeton, who have lost only one of their last four.

But if Calverley can overcome Tong Park Esholt they could climb above their opponents and out of the bottom two for the first time since early June.

In Division One, leaders Burley should have little problem beating bottom club North Leeds and they will hope that Otley can knock a dent in the progress of second-placed Beckwithshaw.

Green Lane’s title hopes took a knock when they only managed two points at Guiseley last week but they should be far too strong for Adel, who already look doomed to relegation.

If Thackley can complete the double over Pool, they will climb above them in the table, while the most intriguing match of the day sees Guiseley travel to Rawdon, a contest between two inconsistent sides that is impossible to call.

Nick Smith and Charlie Swallow have played a big part in Ben Rhydding’s promotion push in Division Three, including starring in an early-season win over Menston.

A repeat of that on Saturday will open up a 13-point cushion between the sides and could see Ben Rhydding take over at the top if rejuvenated Addingham can make any dent in leaders Ilkley.

Skipton have a tough match against Woodhouse, who have won three of their last four games, while Horsforth’s bowling will need to be on top form to quieten the prolific New Rover batting.

Hall Park travel to Bardsey, knowing that whichever side comes off worse will be in the re-election zone.
