With Bilton having opened up a 15-point gap at the top of DIVISION TWO, the key race looks to be among the three Aire-Wharfe League sides hoping to grab the second promotion place – and the order could change again on Saturday.
Harden are currently second, a point ahead of Follifoot with Olicanian five points further back, but Harden go to Bilton this weekend needing to dent the leaders’ charge at the top.
Jeremy Batty’s side were the last team to topple Bilton, bowling them out for just 94 with Philip Leng picking up 6-33, and a repeat of that would certainly provide a massive boost going into the last seven matches.
Meanwhile, Follifoot will start as favourites at Knaresborough, while Olicanian should be much too strong for rock-bottom hosts Calverley and keep the pressure up on the others.
Two wins in a row have lifted Silsden out of the relegation zone but they face a difficult home match against Upper Wharfedale.
Bolton Villas could do with points at Illingworth to keep above the danger zone, while Tong Park Esholt badly need a win at Steeton if they are to climb out of the bottom two.
Having lost their unbeaten record to Otley last weekend, DIVISION ONE leaders Burley should get back to winning ways at home to relegation-threatened Pool.
Otley will expect to maintain their winning streak at Adel, while Green Lane should keep alive their outside hopes of the title against visiting North Leeds.
Rawdon face a difficult trip to Collingham but Thackley will fancy their chances against Guiseley, although the visitors are capable of beating anyone when they hit form.
Only three points separate the trio at the top of DIVISION THREE and all should pick up comfortable wins – Ilkley at Horsforth, Ben Rhydding at Alwoodley and Menston at home to Hall Park.
With their winning run grinding to a halt last week, Addingham face another difficult match when they entertain Woodhouse, while Skipton need to get the better of visitors Bardsey to avoid dropping too close to the re-election spots.
