Rugby Union: Promotion-chasing Baildon have a crucial re-arranged Yorkshire Division Four fixture at Mosborough tomorrow.
"They beat us twice last season," said Baildon coach Malcolm Lightowler, "and although we defeated them 18-9 at Jenny Lane earlier in the season, they deserved to win that too as they were more committed.
"If we win it will give us a psychological boost before the last league game of the season at home to Knottingley. Then a draw would be enough to send us up and we would be champions if, as expected, Old Rishworthians beat Heath. But if we lose both these last two we could finish third behind Knottingley and Heath."
Baildon have named a squad of 20, the only addition being Kiwi Shane Frampton, who was unavailable last week because of work commitments.
This match should have been played a week tomorrow, but has been brought forward because Mosborough play at Westfield School Sports Centre, which is closed over Easter.
Bradford and Bingley, free from any fears of relegation in North Division Two, are hoping to cause an upset.
The Bees are at leaders Northern, who won 26-3 at Wagon Lane on the opening day of the season.
However, the 17-14 victory over West Hartlepool Stags last Saturday did Bradford and Bingley's confidence no harm and they feel they have a chance if they play as well again.
The visitors make three changes, colt John Earle making his debut on the left wing because Dave Hemsley is unavailable - his wife Sam is expecting their first child on Tuesday.
Skipper Mark Heap, who scored two tries having come on as a replacement last weekend, resumes at No 8, and Richard Petyt returns at fly half. Centre Hugh Gumbs, who had such a fine game against the Stags after coming on in the second half, is on the bench.
Keighley, who name the likely side to face Darlington Mowden Park on April 11, should have had a club match at Leodiensians.
However, the Alwoodley club have crossed off, so the visitors travel to Castleford instead.
Bradford Salem, who have several players going to Twickenham, have no first team match, but many of their squad will have a training session in readiness for Monday's Sulzer (UK) Pumps Ltd first round Aire-Wharfe Cup tie at Yarnbury.
