BRADFORD Salem are just two games away from creating history.
Surprisingly, given their dominant sides in the 1980s and 1990s, they have never gone through a league season unbeaten, but that is the prospect that awaits the SSE Yorkshire Division Two champions with two matches left.
They have a tasty derbyat home to sixth-placed Keighley on Saturay but are missing skipper and second row James Cunliffe and scrum half Jack Mitchell and give a late fitness test to former England international Dan Scarbrough (abductor injury).
