All the weekend's Sovereign Health Care Priestley Cup second-round ties have been re-arranged for next Sunday.

And seven of the Sovereign Health Care Priestley Shield ties have also been switched to Sunday after rain again prevented a ball being bowled for the second successive day following Saturday's wash-out of the SDS Bradford League programme.

However, the Priestley Shield tie between Windhill and Bowling Old Lane will go ahead on Sunday, June 4 as originally planned.

Clubs were given permission to re-arrange their Priestley Cup and Shield ties for next Sunday because no play was possible last weekend.

The announcement was made by Bradford League chief executive Bob Shackleton as heavy rain again deluged grounds which were still waterlogged from the previous day's downpour.

The switch to next Sunday means a busy Bank Holiday for the clubs still involved in the two competitions because there is a full programme of league matches on both Saturday and Monday.

If play is not completed next Sunday, the ties will continue on Tuesday, May 30 because of the league games on Monday.

Shackleton said: "In the light of the continuing wet weather, the poor forecast for the next two days, and the poor conditions reported at many grounds, the decision was taken to give clubs the chance to re-arrange games for next Sunday."

l Brighouse will stage the Bradford League's White Rose Trophy semi-final tie against the East Yorkshire League on June 11.

The choice of venue was made by the management board at their latest meeting after the ambitious Division One club had indicated their wish to be considered to stage representative matches at their new ground.

It is the first time that the Russell Way ground, with its excellent modern facilities, has been selected to host a representative match.

l Bradford Park Avenue again kicks off the Sir Loenard Hutton Foundation's Enjoy Cricket courses in the area for 2006. Sessions will be held on Wednesday May 31, Thursday June 1 and Friday June 2 from 10am-2.30pm.

The courses are aimed at children from six to 13 who perhaps have never given cricket a thought or who have had no chance to play it at their school but would love to have a go.

Activities revolve around KWIK cricket, cricket-based games and, to finish a session, games between the participants played to normal cricket regulations. However, a soft ball is used.

No previous experience is required and children do not need to have any gear.
