Wibsey Warriors look to bounce back from last week’s narrow Premier Division defeat when they travel to Drighlington on Saturday in the Pennine League.
Ryan Hall is on fire at the moment, having scored back-to-back hat-tricks, and coach Jason Hirst will hope that sort of form continues.
The kicking of Harry Hall is also pivotal to the Warriors' chance of victory.
Queensbury have a real chance to get off the mark when they entertain pointless Dewsbury Moor.
Coach Andy Senior has a full-strength team to choose from and will be buoyed by the recent acquisition of Rob Hawthorne from Bradford Bulls.
The Championship Division game of the day is a huge derby as West Bowling welcome Bank Top Harriers.
The Harriers sit proudly at the top of the division. However, Bowling will be up for the challenge following last week’s decisive win.
Bowling centre Jack Dawson is a real danger, as is hooker Danny Gregory, while Harriers have the vast experience of Adam Mitchell and the skill of scrum half Danny Whiteley to call on.
In Division One, Birkenshaw take on Crigglestone All Blacks in what could prove a close affair.
Steve and Matty Smith are bang in form and Birky have Paul Bancroft available, who starts an impressive 25th campaign with the club.
Wyke look to continue their unbeaten run in Division Two when Lindley Swifts visit The Rec.
Ian and Micky Wormald are key to the Wyke outfit, and with strong running forward Simon Owen and speedy wing Liam Hay in their ranks, they should have too much firepower for the Huddersfield side.
Odsal Sedbergh could join the top two if they can beat Shaw Cross in Division Three.
Coach Gary Priestley will look to captain Luke Sellers to marshal the troops so that their impressive back line can do the damage.
Undercliffe could go clear at the top of Division Four if they can overcome Drighlington A – and neighbours Victoria Rangers can do them a favour by beating rivals Kellingley Welfare.
Captain Kenny Smith is the one to watch, with the prolific Adrian Scully also catching the eye.
* Division One leaders Bradford Dudley Hill will need to avoid a potential National Conference League banana skin when they travel to Milford Marlins.
Milford still have an outside chance of promotion themselves and will present a real danger to Hill’s title prospects.
Mick Hill was an inspiration with his kicking game last week, and if hooker Nathan Kitson and winger Neil Wall continue with their try-scoring exploits, Hill should be victorious once more.
