UNLIKE the last time they suffered serious flooding, when they were away for Wagon Lane for something like 16 weeks, Bradford & Bingley are only hoping to be absent for a month this time around.

The Yorkshire Division One leaders play basement boys West Park Leeds on Saturday at Cougar Park but Bees secretary Nick Patterson said: "We are hoping this is a one-off.

"Both the top and bottom bars are fully operational at Wagon Lane and we are hoping to have the pitch and changing rooms sorted so that the second team can play there a week on Saturday.

"The kitchen has has had to be ripped out but the rudiments are there to hopefully return with the first team on Saturday, January 30 at home to Yarnbury.

"The second-team pitch could be more of a problem as we have moved all of the glass off the pitch that we can see – some greenhouses were wrecked – but you worry about the smaller bits that you can't see."

Bradford Salem, who are without Andy Robinson and Jamie Booth, hand the captain's armband to former skipper James Cunliffe at Old Crossleyans.

Old Grovians are still awaiting test results regarding contamination on their Elm Tree Farm ground, so are taking on Old Rishworthians at Baildon in Yorkshire Division Two.
