STEETON will try to vent the frustrations from their three opening games on Otley tomorrow – but will need their bowlers to match the good form shown by their batsmen so far.
Scoring at more than four an over in their first two matches brought them a tie against Rawdon and defeat at the hands of Burley.
Then last week they upped the pace even more and raced to 192-1 against Kirkstall, only for the rain to deny them, leaving Andrew Foulds unbeaten one run short of a century.
They may not find runs as easy against Otley, who were only denied what looked set to be a third straight win by the rain.
Ricky Halloran is picking up regular wickets and James Davies underlined his danger last week with a five-wicket spell.
Burley, who slipped to second in the table behind Beckwithshaw after going down to a narrow defeat by Follifoot, will look to get back on track at Kirkstall.
The home side are still something of an unknown quantity, having had two matches abandoned after an opening-day win at Collingham.
Guiseley are already in danger of being cut adrift at the bottom after three straight defeats, and they need to end that run quickly.
They face Rawdon, who are also looking for their first win, having had two abandoned matches and a tie.
Ilkley will also be chasing a first victory when they entertain Collingham, who have made an up and down start to the campaign.
There is a mouth-watering clash in Division Two, with Green Lane’s trip to Illingworth, with both sides locked on 45 points just behind leaders Colton.
With Azhar Mehmood in good form with both bat and ball, Lane have looked impressive so far and will be aware that Illingworth were second best when facing Colton.
After going down to their first defeat at the hands of Skipton, Horsforth need a quick response at Adel, who were victors over Skipton in week two.
Ben Rhydding entertain bottom club Thackley, with both sides needing a first win to get their campaigns going, and the same can be said of the meeting between Tong Park Esholt and Harden.
Skipton will hope Iqbal Khan’s good, early bowling form continues when they tackle Knaresborough in a clash between fourth and fifth in the table.
New overseas player Nathan Harford has made an impressive start and has helped Addingham into second place in Division Three.
They now face their toughest test so far against fellow promotion hopefuls Calverley, who, after going down to surprise early pacemakers Alwoodley, bounced back to storm past New Rover.
Silsden, who are stuck at the bottom after three defeats, will fear the backlash when they entertain New Rover
Bolton Villas have found the division tougher than expected following relegation and are still seeking their first win in a clash with Hall Park, who sprang to life last week when they overcame Bardsey.
After starting the season with a win over new boys Old Modernians, Menston have lost two in a row and need to halt that run when they come up against Olicanian, who have yet to show the form that was expected of them this season.
