Basement side Bank Top Harriers travel to face Queens in fine spirits following last week’s narrow Pennine League defeat to high-flying Drighlington.
The Harriers are still convinced they should have won the Premier Division game and feel badly done to, having had two tries in the first half and a third effort in the second disallowed.
The harsh reality is that a first win of the season cruelly evaded them – but they have the opportunity to set the record straight against a youthful Queens outfit who are now rebuilding after being top dogs in the amateur game for over a decade.
Wibsey Warriors travel to Thornhill Trojans in what will be a rehearsal for their Hamuel Reichenbacher Yorkshire Cup semi-final.

West Bowling host Championship Division One side Morley Borough in the opening round of the President’s Cup at Emsleys Rec.

In Division One, Wyke face a tough challenge as West Leeds arrive at Towngate.
The Black and Whites have been blowing hot and cold for most of the campaign, which is frustrating coach Craig Hillam’s bid to climb the table.
The visitors, who have promotion aspirations, are a big side and that will cause problems – but if Wyke play-maker Ian Watkinson hits his form, a home win should be on the cards.
Odsal Sedbergh meet second-placed Boothtown Terriers at Odsal Rec.
Sedge, who missed out last week when Dodworth called it a day due to player shortages, will be raring to get going again and put one over their old rivals to maintain their own promotion hopes.
Runaway Division Four leaders Victoria Rangers are at home to West Bowling A in a local derby.
Rangers coach John Hodgson was bitterly disappointed when Thornhill A backed out last Saturday with what he described as a feeble excuse.
But his charges should have a more competitive game on their hands when the Bowling second string take to the field at Newlands Sports Club.
