There are six games of the SDS Brad-ford League First Division to go but if third-placed Pudsey St Lawrence don't triumph at leaders Woodlands tomorrow it's going to be awfully hard to see anyone catching the Oakenshaw club before the end of the season.

Saints still trail Pudsey Congs by five points, despite defeating them at Tofts Road last Saturday, but Woodlands' league representative Phil Godfrey feels the pressure is all on St Lawrence tomorrow.

He said: "If they don't beat us, I don't think they have any chance of winning the league.

"They are currently 33 points behind us, and they would be even more with five games to go if they don't win tomorrow.

"St Lawrence would then be relying on us losing two or three while they would have to win all the remaining five."

Woodlands disposed of Brighouse early enough last weekend for Godfrey and co to see the end of the Pudsey derby in person.

He said: "James Smith and Andrew Doidge bowled extremely well for St Lawrence and as a side they fielded well and it was a very, very good game.

"St Lawrence have clearly benefited from the bonus points system. They have 63 batting points, which is more than anyone else, but at one stage they were only 11 points behind us yet we had won several more games, and I am not certain whether that is right."

With Richard Pyrah having recovered from his hip injury, Woodlands are back at full strength, while Nicky Rushworth has recovered sufficiently from his dislocated finger to take the gloves off his admirable deputy Adam Goldthorpe.

Congs, who shouldn't be discounted from the title race, are at home to Ashley Metcalfe-inspired Farsley, who have hauled themselves well clear of the battle to stay up.

But there will also be considerable interest in the goings on at Scatchard Lane, where Morley face Cleckheaton.

Second-from-bottom Morley have hauled themselves up the points standings to a stage where a win tomorrow would virtually put them on an equal footing with the Moorenders.

However, Cleckheaton have the easier run-in so a Morley victory might well be essential if they are to survive.

Staying up, meanwhile is looking a forlorn hope for Keighley, who are now 30 points from safety. They are at home to home to Houdini-like Saltaire. All matches start at 1pm.

DIVISION TWO

Great Horton may only have an outside chance of promotion but they are set to play a key role as the battle for Division One places hots up.

Having beaten second-placed Manningham Mills last week, the Ewart Street outfit travel to third-placed Spen Victoria seeking to dent their promotion hopes.

And their next two games are at leaders Bowling Old Lane and at home to fourth-placed Undercliffe. Wins in those matches would propel Great Horton right back into contention, but skipper Gulbar Ahmed is not getting excited.

He said: "We'll just take it game by game. At the moment, we are not the ones under pressure.

"There are four games left and if we win them, fair enough, but if we lose it doesn't matter as we've done a good job this year."

The club decided against bringing back overseas player Rizwan Akbar after defeat to bottom club Windhill looked to have ended their promotion hopes.

Ahmed admitted that the subsequent win over Mills made him question that decision, but he said: "Iqbal Khan bowled well on his return last week after missing five or six games and maybe he can replace the overseas player."

Meanwhile, Spen Victoria skipper Matt Taylor is set to shrug off the affects of glandular fever and a liver infection to return to the side.

But Spen are still missing all-rounder Chris Elstub, who is on holiday.
