YOUTH cricket is set to serve up a mouthwatering clash in the Upper Airedale Junior League Under-11s Cup.

Title holders Cononley face last year's league champions Earby in the first round of the 2005 competition.

At Under-13 level the Procter Homes sponsored John Hindle Cup sees Glusburn with a tough draw against Settle, who are looking to put the trophy back in their cabinet for the third year. Newcomers Oxenhope face last year's champions Earby and there will be a 'derby' clash between Bolton Abbey and Embsay while Denholme entertain Upper Wharfedale.

Oxenhope, who won a league and cup double last year, are at home to Thornton-in-Craven in the Ian Dyson Electrical Under-15s Raleigh Hargreaves Cup. At Under-17 level Haworth, holders of the William Spencer Cup, travel down the valley to take on Airedale in a preliminary round and champions Steeton take on Oakworth also in a preliminary round of the competition which is sponsored by the Keighley Cup competition.
