Saturday's Jack Senior Memorial Cup first-round clash between hosts West Bowling and Queensbury is sure to be a cracking encounter.

Bowling are riding high at the top of the Championship, while Premiership outfit Bury were buoyed by last week’s impressive victory at Thornhill Trojans.

West’s Connor Wood and Brad Fraser are both doubtful with injury but the squad is strengthened by the return of Kieran McAvoy and Sha Basha.

Bury have Lee Kelley back from international duty and former Bradford Bull Rob Hawthorn is also available.

In the Pennine League Championship, Bank Top Harriers travel to Ossett Trinity with one eye on second place, given rivals Keighley are in Halifax ARL cup action at Stainland Stags.

Bank Top should have too much firepower for a Trinity side who hold the second worst defensive record in the division and victory would see Harriers level on points with leaders West Bowling.

Birkenshaw have an opportunity to gain ground on the leading pack in Division One when they entertain Allerton Bywater. The visitors lie second-bottom with a solitary win from ten outings and Birky will be looking to the experienced Shaun Godfrey to ensure Allerton don’t double their league tally.

Clayton face a tough examination when they welcome Division Two leaders Illingworth. The Halifax outfit are flying with just one defeat thus far but Clayton have nothing to lose. In-form Oliver McElroy is the one to watch.

Victory against Doncaster Toll Bar will give Wyke the chance to close in on the promotion pack, particularly as second-placed Emley and third-placed Boothtown do battle.

The experience of the likes of Michael Wormald and Simon Owen could prove the key to a Wyke success.

Odsal Sedbergh visit Greetland All Rounders in Division Three, looking to secure second spot.

Undercliffe Wildboars could go top of Division Four if they can defeat local rivals Victoria Rangers and Siddal lose at Queensbury A. Undercliffe are without half-back pair Liam and Gavin Jarvis, as well as forwards Steve Ingleson and Lee Naughton.

Kenny Smith returns to action after a three-week injury lay-off and Chris Rafferty will deputise at scrum half.
