Cleckheaton may be leading SSE North One East but they are in the middle of a really testing run of fixtures.

Having beaten West Hartlepool (currently fifth) and Pocklington (second) but lost to Huddersfield YMCA (third), they are at Old Crossleyans (fourth) on Saturday before travelling to Wheatley Hills (seventh) a week on Saturday.

“By mid-November, we will have a much better idea of where we stand,” said Cleckheaton’s fixture secretary Alan Bentley.

“Old Crossleyans’ pitch is hemmed in and they are used to playing on it but they also have plenty of experience off the field as well with Neil Spence and Howard Cooper.”

Cleckheaton (at Old Crossleyans): R Hayden; J Wilson, L Queeley, Matt Piper, M Woodhead; Michael Piper, J Bickerdike; P Turner, B Thrower, A Piper, A Dawson, R Piercy, R Piper, R Afoa Peterson, O Akroyd. Replacements: C Piper, G Turton, Johnno Marshall.
