Tomorrow's third-round of the Sovereign Health Care Priestley Cup certainly puts Division Two of the Bradford League in a good light.

Keighley's home tie against Manningham Mills guarantees a lower-section club a place in the semi-finals, and fellow Division Two side Gomersal will be hoping for an upset at home to top-flight Pudsey St Lawrence.

And a fourth side - Morley, who are at Woodlands - were in Division Two last season before being promoted.

Keighley's Richard Robinson isn't surprised by the make-up of the last eight, saying: "Division One sides tend to rely a lot in their league matches on an overseas bowler.

"But in cup games they still have to find another four bowlers."

Robinson hopes that home advantage will tilt things in Keighley's favour against opponents who have knocked out four First Division sides in the last two seasons in total in the Priestley Cup or the Heavy Woollen Cup.

He said: "They are great to watch and you can spend a lot of time fetching the ball when they are batting, and getting a stiff neck into the bargain.

"But we haven't lost a game all season in any competition and we have one of the best opening bowling attacks in the league in Nick Austin and Ross Towler.

"They would do OK in Division One, and we have a great back-up seamer in Steven Reape, who would be opening the bowling at any other club.

"My main worry is that we haven't had to chase very many for victory because of our bowling, so some of our lower-order batsman, such as Stuart Ratcliffe, have hardly had a chance to bat.

"I bet our leading batsman hasn't scored much more than 140 runs, so it would be interesting to see what will happen if we ever have to chase 250."

St Lawrence should have too much for Gomersal, even though the visitors are under-strength and the hosts have some experienced cup campaigners.

Morley must hope that batsman Vivek Mahajan comes off at Woodlands, and holders Pudsey Congs will be without both Bradley Parker and Scott Cunningham at home to Farsley.

"It's the draw that nobody wanted," laughed Farsley's Ashley Metcalfe. "You don't want to play Congs at any time, but particularly in the later rounds of the cup on their ground.

"But we will go there in a positive frame of mind in what is a two-horse race and hope that we have an on-day and they have an off-day." Stephen Simpson, who has done well over the past 18 months, comes in for Farsley to strengthen their batting, while Congs bring in Rob Thomas and Danny Clifton.
