THIRD-placed Thornton United have a chance to maintain pressure on the sides above them as Bradford Sunday Alliance League clubs look to beat the weather after last week's heavy postponements.

With Premier Division leaders West Bowling not having a game this weekend, Thornton will look to reduce the gap at the summit with a win at home to mid-table Bradford Phoenix.

Oakenshaw have a similar incentive in second place as they look to pick up three points at Allerton in another big game.

The top fixture in Division One is the clash between top two Olympic and leaders Lyceum, who could see their advantage trimmed to four points by hosts who have a game in hand.

Division 1B pace-setters Salts entertain fourth-placed Toller in another match which could have a major bearing on the destination of trophies at the end of the season.

With second-placed YMCC favourites for victory at home to bottom side Lane Ends, Salts cannot afford to slip up.

Wibsey, second in Division 2B, have hit form at just the right time and have fifth-placed Prospect Reserves as visitors as they look to keep pace with leaders Parry Lane, who are at home to mid-table Delius.
