BRADFORD Dudley Hill will be intent on keeping their promotion prospects on track when Stanningley arrive at Parry Lane tomorrow for a Kingstone Press National Conference League Division Two derby.

Hill will look at last week’s first defeat of the season at Askam with mixed feelings.

The 22-16 scoreline failed to reflect the team’s considerable efforts after they fell 12-0 behind early doors.

A gallant fightback, spearheaded by touchdowns from lethal wing duo Neil Wall and Damian Smith, plus a late Aiden Batey special, nearly pulled the result out of the fire, and they will also breathe a sigh of relief that the long, tiring journey to Barrow is out of the way.

Stanningley, who are chugging along in the lower reaches of the table, collected their first success with a 14-12 home win over Stanley Rangers last time out, with full back Jack Brown in top form.

Hill draft prop Kyle Bateman back into the squad after he missed out last week.

In the Yorkshire Men's League, West Bowling will be aiming to gain some measure of payback when they travel to Doncaster Toll Bar.

The South Yorkshire hosts caught Bowling when they were below par and pulled off a surprise 28-12 win in last season’s Presidents Cup final before resigning from the Pennine League Premier Division this term.

Queensbury’s Pennine Championship Division aspirations could depend on the result of next Wednesday’s trip to present leaders Mirfield Stags.

Bury, just two points behind the Stags, must win tomorrow's home game against fourth-placed West Leeds Eagles, while Mirfield face a possible banana skin against third-placed King Cross Park.

Division One Victoria Rangers are travelling to Underbank Rangers in a game that is traditionally a fiery exchange, while Wyke, who are finishing their Division Two campaign in rampant form, will give Eastmoor Dragons a testing time at Towngate.

Division Four West table-toppers Birkenshaw's resurrection, after being forced to fold last term, will move tantalising closer if they succeed at Silsden, with some silverware in the offing with just three games to go.

Birky have timed their run-in to perfection, with long-serving packman Paul Bancroft a leading light on the firmer playing surfaces.
