Thackley look to put cup disappointment behind them by rejoining the front-runners in the Northern Counties East League Premier Division on Saturday when they host Scarborough Athletic.

The Seadogs are three spots above their seventh-placed hosts in a congested table but the Dennyboys are just seven points off the summit with a game in hand on the leaders Bridlington.

Boro have played three fewer games than Brid, so it will be a difficult afternoon for Vince Brockie’s side but their home form is good, despite their West Riding Cup defeat to Armthorpe in midweek.

Brighouse Town have slipped off the pace after briefly topping the pile at the end of September but victory at home to Parkgate would put them right back in the mix.

Just one point separates eighth-placed Town from their opponents.

Liversedge travel to second-bottom Maltby Main in good heart after a midweek win in the first round of the West Riding County Cup brought an end to a sequence of seven games without a victory.

No such run of bad form has affected Albion Sports, who sit proudly at the summit of Division One.

Three wins from their last four league games will put them in confident mood as they head to ninth-placed Hemsworth Miners Welfare.

Eccleshill United have also been in fine form but that will be put to the test at fourth-placed Glasshoughton Welfare.

The Eagles are currently cock-a-hoop after their excellent win on Tuesday night in the county cup, winning at Goole AFC, who are two divisions higher than them.
