Top local match of the day this weekend is the Northfield Road Pennine League Division One clash between Wibsey Warriors and Birkenshaw.

The Warriors are going great guns in second spot and, while they will lack Nick Fontaine and Nathan Anderson, they have the strength in depth to plug any gaps in their formidable scoring machine.

Birky, coming back on song after a wobbly start, will be cock-a-hoop after last week’s impressive Bradford Cup win.

Top dogs Clayton make the short journey to West Bowling A in rampant form. Player-coach Scott Pendlebury, who graced Bowling’s Conference side in their pomp, will be relishing getting to grips with his former colleagues, who are in the doldrums still awaiting a first win of the campaign.

Bank Top Harriers should see their Division Two promotion ambitions remain on course at the expense of visitors West Leeds.

The Harriers looked a handy outfit against Wyke last week with ex-Keighley Cougar Adam Mitchell calling the shots.

Wyke, who are still seeking their first win, have a golden opportunity of breaking their duck when Wortley Dragons arrive at Towngate.

Division Three leaders Dudley Hill are consistently rattling in the points, which could prove ominous for hosts West Craven Warriors, while Odsal Sedbergh seek to put one over mid-table hosts Boothtown Terriers.

Division Four Undercliffe Wildboars are hoping home advantage will count in their favour against New Earswick A.
