OLD foes Nestl Rowntree and Carlton Athletic clash in the West Yorkshire League premier division tomorrow with a place at the top of the table up for grabs.

Both teams boast 100% records this season but champions Rowntree currently lead Carlton, last season's runners-up, on goal difference.

The biggest blow to Jim Collis' side is the loss of midfielder Steve Haddon with a suspected broken toe which could keep him out for six weeks.

Fellow midfielder and skipper Neil Durkin could make his first appearance since sustaining a groin injury in a pre-season friendly against Selby.

Forward Martin Cowl has returned from holiday.

Nostell Miners Welfare should beware a York RI backlash when the sides meet tomorrow.

Lowly RI did not deserve to be beaten 6-1 by Whitkirk last week and will be out to make amends at Nostell.

Central midfielder Danny Cocker returns to the RI squad after three weeks out with a hip injury but defender Pat Render is still missing.

He has been suffering with fluid on the knee since the first of the game of the season and has been to hospital this week to have it checked out. He will have it looked at again next week but is hopeful an operation will not be necessary.

RI could have a new striker on board by next week - manager Nigel Rhodes has been watching a player from the same league and hopes to secure his signature over the coming week.

Knaresborough Town have no injury worries going into their County Challenge Cup first round tie at home to Beeston St Anthony's.

Goole Town hope to have Andy Saville back in the side for their home encounter with unbeaten Northern Counties East League premier division leaders Sheffield.

Ironically, the two teams would also have met in the FA Cup next week had Goole not been knocked out by Ashton on Tuesday night.

That came as a blow to Goole as Sheffield - the oldest club in the country - are being followed by the BBC through the rounds.

Selby Town will be choosing from three goalkeepers for their trip to mid-table Thackley in the NCEL premier division.

Matthew Potter has returned from holiday, his stand-in Miles Massey, who missed last week's game because of work commitments, should also be available while reserve keeper Gary Campbell, who replaced Massey last week, will stay in the running.

There could be a return for midfielder Nigel Oldfield. He has not played this season because of cricket and holiday commitments but featured for the reserves last week. Fellow midfielder John Carter is also back in contention after a week out through work.

Harrogate Railway are at another mid-table side, Glapwell.

Pickering Town, fifth in NCEL division one, have an important trip to top of the table Borrowash Victoria.

The Pikes are still without skipper Dean McAuley and midfielder Alec Willgrass who have knee injuries, along with last season's top scorer Pat Gaughan. However Gaughan is expected to have a run out in the reserves after missing the last four games with a hamstring problem.

Tadcaster Albion boss Wayne Day is convinced his side's first win in NCEL division one is just around the corner, and it could come tomorrow at home to Mickleover Sports.

Albion have scored just one goal and picked up one point in their first three league games but Day is refusing to panic.

He said: "We could have won all three. In all those games we have created chances amounting to double figures, we just can't stick the ball in the net."

Key players Kevin Gilkes, Ross Bardy and Mark Hick all return after missing last Saturday's 2-0 defeat at Pontefract Collieries with work commitments.

But midfielder Darren Hunt, who made his comeback from the subs bench last week after six weeks out with a knee injury, is back on the sidelines. He suffered a reaction to the injury and lasted just 15 minutes.

Harrogate Town have a blank weekend in UniBond division one.

Alex Thornton and Julian Wild return to the New Earswick Under-19s squad for Sunday's visit of Thackley after missing last week's 1-0 defeat by Emley because of a virus.

James Anderson also returns after unavailability, but assistant manager John Coull - boss Gary Farthing is on holiday - may have to do without Mark Willoughby and Turner, who are doubtful with knee and ankle injuries, respectively. Hanford and Vivas are also unavailable.
