Silsden are hoping to fulfil their Carlsberg Sunday Cup tie against Merseyside outfit Paddock at the third time of asking this weekend.

The Bradford Sunday Alliance champions have seen two attempts to play the game at Keighley Road washed out by the weather in the last fortnight.

Now, according to Football Association rules, the tie reverts to their opponents' ground - and it will be no easy task, with Paddock having dumped out Silsden's Alliance rivals Albion Sports in the first round.

Meanwhile, Bradford Park Avenue visit Bolton Woods in a match they need to win to stay top of the Premier Division table.

Second-placed Oakenshaw are also on the road as they visit Manningham Ward, while Albion Sports face Prune Park at Apperley Bridge.

The top match in Division One sees leaders Clayton Orient entertain third-placed Relay Recruitment Rovers, with maximum points vital for both sides' promotion ambitions.

Britannia Shipley have a six-point lead in Division 1A but have played more games than all their rivals, so they cannot afford to slip up at fourth-placed Seven Stars.

Baildon Trinity will stay in touch near the summit if they send mid-table Orange away pointless.

Division 1B leaders Thornton face a local derby against nearest challengers Allerton in a match that could go a long way towards deciding the destination of the title.
