BRUISED and battered West Bowling will conduct a series of fitness tests before naming a squad to face Upton in the Pennine League Premier Division clash at Emsley's Rec on Saturday.

However, West’s will definitely be without skipper Richard Lumb, who suffered a dislocated jaw in last week’s brutal encounter against the Pontefract outfit.

However, the two teenage debutants who came through the baptism of fire – hooker Harry Williams and centre Ellis Bentley – keep hold of their jerseys.

West's, who won the away game far more comfortably than the 20-12 scoreline suggests, will be hoping for a strong official. Upton will be allowed to play the two players who were sent off last week as they have yet to face the Pennine 'beaks'.

Top match in the Championship Division is Odsal Sedbergh against unbeaten leaders Mirfield Stags at Odsal Rec.

The recently-formed Stags, who are coached by Super League referee Richard Silverwood, are the glamour boys of the competition, having attracted a large number of floating players with professional experience, which may count for little against a full-strength Sedge outfit on their unique home fortress that will be wild and heavy.

Queensbury, who are chomping at the bit to get their league programme moving, travel to West Leeds Eagles.

Bury have only played three games so far, losing one, but will certainly fancy their chances of gaining ground by seeing off their Leeds hosts, who are becalmed in mid-table.

Victoria Rangers will be determined to avoid their fourth defeat on the trot when Lindley Swifts arrive at Eccleshill Sports Club.

The Vics have slid down the Division One table, but their Huddersfield-based opponents are cantering along, well in touch with the leading pack in fourth.

Division Two Wyke keep the same squad from last week's postponed game for the trip to table-toppers Cutsyke Raiders.

The black and whites will want to celebrate their last away fixture of the season with a win after suffering a number of narrow defeats on their travels, and they should now start to climb the table with only home games to contend with.

Division Three leaders Clayton should have too much firepower for Newsome Panthers on home soil, while there will no love lost when Queensbury A host old foes West Bowling A in a derby.
