The big games are coming thick and fast for Bradford Salem these days. Just a week after reaching the last 16 of the Powergen Junior Vase, the Heaton club, who are third, host leaders Knottingley in a Yorkshire Division Three promotion battle tomorrow.

Knottingley have won 11 out of 11 so far in the league, but Salem are confident of being the first club to lower their colours.

"We lost 12-8 at their place in November and scored the only try. They said we were the best side they had played up to that stage," said Salem's match secretary Neil Klenk. "Also now we have second row Jason France, centre Tony Fella and hooker Simon Markey available, and they were all absent at Knottingley."

Pace-setting Cleckheaton are at home to Birkenhead Park in North One, and only change their bench, bringing in Carl Mason, Craig Rika and Gary Mercer.

Keighley, front-runners in Yorkshire Divi-sion Two, welcome back full back Matthew Cox, prop Paul Sinfield and No 8 Peter Scho-field for the home match against Beverley.

Baildon will be seeking their first double of the season in Yorkshire Division Four at home to Old Modernians. Ben Greaves is at full back for the Bees' in their third successive away match in North Two East against Redcar.

Wharfedale have lost six on the trot in National League Two and their latest critical encounter is at a revitalised Stourbridge. Philip Peel returns to the front row for the Greens. Winger Gareth Johnston is also back.

Wibsey include Neil Carter on their bench at Hornsea in Yorkshire Division Five. He is available again after police training.
