Football - Ziggy's A Star Cars Halifax Sunday league: Clubs bidding for knockout success
League matters will be on hold for many Division One and Two teams tomorrow as their focus turns to the first round of the Ama Trading Limited League Cup.
Division Two leaders Church Stile Stallions face Greystones Social Club, who recorded an impressive 3-1 victory over Oddfellows in the Halifax FA Sunday Cup last weekend.
Oddfellows themselves will be hoping to bounce back from this set back as they play higher-division Halifax Rangers.
Halifax Rangers Reserves are looking forward to the distraction of the League Cup but face a tough ask to progress as they face the second placed Division One side Carrington Rangers.
Three further ties see Division Two sides challenging more senior opposition.
Stubbing Wharf visit Natty Lane to play Bradshaw, Queens Head welcome a home tie against Waiters Arms and FC Champs go to Northowram for their game against Jacks Bar Reserves.
Elland Sports play The Vine in what should be a closely contested affair as the teams shared six goals in league action just two weeks ago.
Engineers booked their spot in the next round of the cup last week with victory over Albert Rovers and so find themselves in league action this week.
They have a Division One match against Halifax Hammers, who themselves are battling a poor run of form which has seen them taking nothing out of their last three outings.
Falcon Pine, sitting on the top of Division One, face a tricky home game against Mount Tabor whilst bottom club Brandy Wine challenge next-to-bottom Ovenden Amateurs, who are likely to have been lifted by last week's drubbing of Halifax Rangers.
In the Premier Division, second placed Spring Gardens will be hoping to make up some ground on leaders King Cross CB & AC, who do not play this week, when they welcome Hollins Holme to Greetland Community Centre.
Greetland CC face an away day challenge from Southowram, and it's fourth versus fifth when Royal Hotel face Jacks Bar at Savile Park.
FC Bowling Green will make a third attempt to play their West Riding County FA Sunday Cup second round tie at home to Pudsey 2005.
