This weekend’s action sees a whole host of local derby games as semi-finals are played out in two important cup competitions.

In the Jack Senior Memorial Cup, Queensbury welcome close rivals Clayton to Hill Top in what is sure to be a firecracker of a game.

Bury put in a gritty performance last week in their league win against Illingworth and they will need that kind of performance again to overcome a strong Clayton outfit.

Joe Langford and Joe Swain are the men to watch for Bury and Scott Swann will be looking to add to his season’s goal tally.

Odsal Sedbergh entertain Birkenshaw and will be hoping they can pull off a big cup shock against the team two divisions above them.

In the Hudson Foster Trophy, Queensbury A and Clayton A mirror their respective first teams as they too fight it out for local bragging rights.

Bury will be favourite to book a cup final place but the formbook goes out of the window on derby day and Clayton will aim for an upset.

South Bradford will be underdogs in their tie with Wibsey Warriors A but will give total commitment to the cause.

In Pennine League Division One, West Bowling A face a huge test when they take on league leaders Slaithwaite Saracens.

The Saracens have lost only once in 15 outings and Bowling will need the experienced Martin Tordoff and Mark Dunning to sound the battle cry. Young Aaron Chappell is the current Bowling dangerman.

Wyke are still seeking their first victory and have the chance to get off the mark against Emley Moor.

In Division Two, Wibsey Warriors have the chance to go top if leaders Brighouse Rangers slip up against Worley Dragons.

Bank Top Harriers make the trip to Stanningley A with scrum half Bob Brown returning to the fray.

Prop Mark Brown is out after suffering an injury in training.
