West Bowling have to win their last away match of the Pennine League Premier Division campaign at Skirlaugh to stand any chance of avoiding the dreaded drop.

Player-coach Glenn Barraclough said: "We have four games left and we must win all of them to stand any realistic chance of staying up.

"With three teams going down, we have to catch and overtake West Hull. It's a big ask but if we take the points at Skirlaugh, we have three homes games left against Thornhill, Leigh Miners and West Hull to do the business and keep the heat on all the others."

Bowling's task is not made any easier as all three remaining home matches are on the road.

The Bankfoot Oval is unavailable due to two friendly cricket matches taking precedence and the club will once again turn to Bradford Salem and Clayton to be good neighbours and allow the use of their facilities.

West's former BARLA international full back Lee Innes is back in action following a hamstring injury but utility back Peter Simpson, who had to retire from the game at Hull Dockers with a leg injury, has suffered a damaged ankle in training and looks likely to miss the rest of the season.

Queensbury A meet Boothtown Terriers in the delayed semi-final of the Andrew Bennett Trophy at Hilltop.

The Terriers get a second chance to take the trophy after being reinstated when previous victors York Groves were expelled after fielding ineligible players.

Bury will have a busy weekend if they go through, having already reached the Hudson Foster Supplementary Cup final at Odsal Stadium on Sunday, May 1 and the Andrew Bennett final is at the Dewsbury Rams Stadium the following day.

Queensbury are well known for their cup- fighting credentials but they are struggling to avoid relegation from Division Two while Boothtown are going strong in third place in Division Three, which should ensure a rousing encounter.

Birkenshaw welcome forwards Ben Cousen and Paul Bancroft back to the fray against Illingworth at East Bierley.

The Halifax side, who are still in with a shout of the Premier title, were in sparkling form when they played Clayton last time out while Birky will be desperate to get back to winning ways with the Jack Senior Bradford Cup final date at Odsal rapidly approaching.

Victoria Rangers face a tough visit to champions Elland and West Bowling A will bring the rugby league season curtain down against Dodworth at the Bankfoot Oval. Division Four title-chasing Undercliffe travel to Slaithwaite Saracens needing a win to keep pace with rivals York Acorn and Thornton entertain Meltham All Blacks.
