Ben Rhydding and Guiseley players could be sick of the sight of each other by the end of the weekend.

The two sides are just behind the top three in the Aire-Wharfe League as they take identical records into Saturday's league clash at Coutances Way, before switching grounds the following day when nine-times Waddilove Cup winners Guiseley face last season’s beaten finalists in the first round of the competition.

Guiseley started the season with two wins but have struggled since, while Ben Rhydding, with Charlie Swallow and Jason Wright in consistent form, have dropped points against early pacemakers Beckwithshaw and defending champions Collingham.

Ross Suri has picked up ten wickets in Steeton’s two recent wins and could hold the key when they entertain Pool, who are in second place but struggled last week against Harden.

The four points Harden picked up in that match broke their duck, and they could make further progress at Bilton, who slumped badly at Kirkstall last week.

Burley travel to Collingham, who appear to be finding the defence of their title harder than winning it, while Otley will hope to bounce back from defeat by Burley when they play host to second-from- bottom Follifoot.

Having seen off the threat of Thackley last week, Rawdon now face Knaresborough, who are three points above them in second place in Division Two.

Knaresborough have been boosted by the early-season form of veterans Jonathan Corcoran and Mike Baxendall and, especially, their new import Josh Sundberg, who smashed an undefeated century last week.

Thackley, meanwhile, have a tough test as they try to get their promotion challenge back on track against Adel, who have dropped only two points since this pair dropped out of the top flight.

Ilkley and Green Lane square off after disappointing performances last week, while the bottom five are involved in matches they hope will see them move up the table.

Rock-bottom Calverley travel to eighth-placed Colton, Tong Park Esholt, in ninth, entertain second-from-bottom Bardsey, while tenth-placed Bolton Villas have a difficult trip to North Leeds, who beat Green Park last week.

Flying high at the top of Division Three, with only one point dropped, Skipton should prove too strong for faltering Alwoodley and, after a couple of impressive displays, Hall Park will be confident at home to Upper Wharfedale.

Addingham, fresh from a massive win over Woodhouse, take on Silsden, who have stumbled after a bright start, while Horsforth travel to New Rover, who are bottom of the heap following three straight defeats.

Olicanian travel to Menston, with both sides struggling to get out of the bottom three.

Among the other first-round cup ties on Sunday are: Alwoodley v Steeton, Bardsey v Skipton, Bilton v Addingham, Bolton Villas v Green Lane, Burley v Horsforth, Calverley v Pool, Collingham v Menston, Ilkley v Olcanian, Knaresborough v Otley, Rawdon v Harden, Thackley v Woodhouse.
