Top of the bill on the Pennine League scene on Saturday is the Premier Division derby at Hill Top between Queensbury and Clayton.

Bury, who are hovering in the relegation zone, will show scant respect as their near-neighbours won 34-24 earlier in the campaign, and with a host of players and coaches who have close ties with both clubs, a cracking game is on the cards.

Bury playmaker Carl Smith could be the trump card with his electrifying pace, while Clayton's Danny Belcher poses a similar threat.

West Bowling A, who are going great guns under rookie coach Chris Minchella, face their biggest challenge of their Division One promotion-seeking drive when they entertain table-toppers Crigglestone All Blacks at the Bankfoot Oval.

Bowling lost 46-2 in the away fixture but with captain Bob Benn and fellow packman Paul Hutchinson back in action, West's will be a far different proposition on home soil.

Birkenshaw resume hostilities with old rivals Moldgreen at East Bierley.

Birky knocked the Huddersfield side out of the President's Cup by one point and added insult to injury with a 14-6 success in the away fixture.

Bank Top Harriers are back in Division Three action with a mouth-watering home game against classy Lindley Swifts, and Undercliffe travel to Slaithwaite Saracens seeking revenge for a 64-12 home reverse.

In Division Four, Queensbury A are hunting for a rare double at Meltham All Blacks, while rapidly-improving Dudley Hill's second strings should have the edge over visitors Wortley Dragons.

Unbeaten Wibsey Warriors, who have the Division Six title wrapped up, should have to much firepower for Greetland All Rounders at Northfield Road.

The Warriors' versatile Michael Derrick is leading all-comers a merry dance with his free-scoring prowess after rejoining the club from West Bowling.
