Hide AdLane will be particularly keen to lift a Halifax League trophy one more time before departing to play in the Bradford League in 2018.
Royd are hoping for two glorious Sundays in a row as they play Booth in the Parish Cup final at Blackley seven days later.
A second Calder Valley side, Bridgeholme, face Illingworth in the second semi-final at 2pm.
Bridgeholme play in the middle section of the league while the St Mary’s club are carrying everything before them in Division Two after switching from the Aire/Wharfe League.

Hide AdBridgeholme have already broken new ground this season by winning the Halifax Sunday League’s Rod Warhurst Cup.
They have made finals day before, losing to SBCI in the semi-finals, and club chief Keith Hudson believes his side could pull off a shock.
“We are very capable of going all the way,” he said.
“You do need everything to go your way on the day but we bat right down to 11 and have seven or eight bowlers.”
Bridgeholme beat Cullingworth by 44 runs in their quarter final while Illingworth denied Great Horton a home appearance with a 35-run success.
