WYKE have the opportunity to close the gap on Pennine League Division One leaders Illingworth when they entertain Brighouse Rangers in a tasty derby at the Recreation Ground on Saturday.

Coach Warren Pitman expressed concern over his Wyke's outfit's discipline last time out, and that is likely to be a key factor in determining the outcome.

In-form Jordan Payton is Wyke's dangerman, while Ian Wormald and Shaun Godfrey provide the firepower up front.

One to watch for Brighouse is Jordan Sild, who capped a top performance at Dalton last week with a hat-trick.

Victoria Rangers will take great confidence from their recent narrow defeat by table-toppers Illingworth when they take the field at Dalton.

The Cumbrians sit rooted to the foot of the table, and Vics have the chance to edge themselves further towards safety if they can secure two points.

In Cameron Foster and the like, Vics have the attacking players to cause Dalton problems, while Mikey Boltwood and Ash Yarrow will provide the necessary defensive platform needed for victory.

In Division Two, Clayton welcome West Craven Warriors to Scholemoor Road, and home coach Scott Pendlebury knows that a win is important to keep them in touch with the top three.

Birkenshaw should have far too much firepower for Greetland All Rounders in Division Three.

Greetland find themselves hopelessly adrift at the wrong end of the table, and Birky will expect two more points as they look to catch the early pacesetters.

Division Four leaders Queensbury are seeking to maintain their excellent form when they welcome Silsden to Hill Top.

Jordan Brown has proved unstoppable of late, and Chris Hanson and Sam Smith also know their way to the line.

Bury will be aware of the poor start made by Silsden, who have just two points from seven outings.

However, they will need to guard against complacency.
