Both the 1st XI and 2nd XI lie in second place in their respective divisions of the Gordon Rigg Bradford Premier League. The 1st XI have won four matches in a row and lie one point behind table toppers Hunslet Nelson while the 2nd XI who have won five matches in a row are five points behind Yeadon.
With a win both could find themselves top of their tables on Saturday evening.

To gain a neutral view here, is what the Gordon Rigg Bradford Premier League website preview makes of Sunday’s Cup Tie:
“ Lightcliffe v Wrenthorpe
Lightcliffe are one of the top tips for promotion from Division Two and if they can field their strongest side consistently on a Sunday they will be one of the strong contenders to win the cup. Old heads Alex Stead, Mohammed Jamal and Andrew Walker are key in a side full of promising young players who have come through the club’s fine junior set up. After three successive relegations, Wrenthorpe have been showing an upturn in form in recent weeks. They won the cup four times in their Central Yorkshire League days and perhaps the competition will stir some happy memories for them.
Lightcliffe - Top Scorer: Niall Lockley 148. Most Wickets: Mohammed Jamal 8.
Wrenthorpe - Top Scorer: Ubaid Zia 148. Most Wickets: Muhammed Sudais 9.”
