Queensbury face a tough task at Leigh Miners Rangers in the second round of the GMB Union National Cup.

The National Conference Premier outfit are renowned for their open rugby and Bury will need to keep a tight rein on BARLA international loose forward Tommy Goulding. Bury however have the pack and the pace to cause an upset.

West Bowling come back to earth with a bang after last week's heroic feat at Batley Bulldogs, making the long journey to Egremont.

The Cumberland One side are having a mixed season and should prove to be no match for a strong Bowling team lacking prop Richard Greenwood, who is out with a sprung

shoulder.

Forwards Phil Chappell, Lee Hutchinson and Nigel Halmshaw are all carrying minor knocks but are expected to be fit.

International wingman Lee Innes returns after being cup-tied by the Army.

Bradford Dudley Hill return to National Conference League action with a visit to Saddleworth Rangers.

Rangers have picked up over the past few weeks having signed former Halifax scrum half Craig Dean.

Assistant coach Dave Savage, who is confident of picking up two points, said: "The way we have dominated sides over our last few games we are well capable of beating any team in this division.

"Last week we were awesome, scoring some spectacular tries, and what is pleasing is to score tries from set plays which we work hard on in training."

Hill are waiting for fitness checks on Anthony Huby and Mark Ackroyd.

Birkenshaw add new signing Martin Poutney to the squad that will face Lindley Swifts at East Bierley.

The former south Bradford prop forward has joined the club from Dewsbury Celtic and his experience will prove invaluable in Birky's assault on the Pennine League Premier title.

The Huddersfield-based Swifts appear to have blown up following a successful run in the Yorkshire Cup and Richard Hesletine's men have been further boosted with the return from holiday of influential playmaker Andy Hirst.

In the second round of the Pennine Presidents Cup, Victoria Rangers will be keen to shrug off last Saturday's surprise league defeat at the hands of Clayton when they travel to Second Division Victoria Vikings.

West Bowling A need another giant-killing performance if they are to succeed at Premier high-flyers Ovenden.

Bowling, who disposed of holders Elland in the previous round, will be without Adie Priestley (knee) and Darren Holdsworth (work commitments). Eddie Womersley is drafted in.

Thornton have three-quarters Guy Dunn and Simon Hall back in action for the second-round Shipley Trophy tie at home to Odsal Sedbergh A. Division four strugglers Wyke will have to raise their game to go through against Division Three side Liversedge.

It is tight at the top of Division Two. Second-placed Odsal Sedbergh should take basement outfit Moldgreen to the cleaners at Odsal Rec while neighbours Queensbury A will do them a huge favour if they take out leaders Dodworth at Hill Top.

Undercliffe are confident of escaping from the bottom of Division Four. They visit Wetherby Bulldogs with their injury problems now over.
