Bradford’s two sides in the Kool Sport NCEL Premier Division could not be facing more different challenges this weekend as Thackley host the basement outfit, while Liversedge travel to the leaders.

Fourth-placed Thackley stepped over the 40-point threshold with a win in last week’s derby at Sedge and entertain Brodsworth Welfare, who are 12 points adrift at the bottom with a minus 92 goal difference.

The Reds, who were one of eight clubs to seek ground grading for the UniBond League should they end this term in a promotion place, are still 14 points behind leaders Bridlington Town, who await the visit of Liversedge.

Brid top the table by just one point following a shock 4-2 midweek defeat at home to lower mid-table Parkgate on Tuesday.

Eccleshill United are propping up Division One but won last time out, which took them level on points with Worsbrough Bridge on whom they have three games in hand.

That was new boss Mark Senior’s first game in charge but the Eagles have suffered two postponements since so will be lacking match practice when they travel to second-placed AFC Emley tomorrow.

Brighouse Town visit Appleby Frodingham in a top-six clash.

In the Vodkat Premier League, Silsden have a second home game on the spin to help them back into the swing of things.

Chris Reape’s men looked rusty when they beat struggling Formby at home last weekend in what was their first game of the year following an extended lay-off.

Saturday's visitors are mid-table Runcorn Linnets.
