Survivor: Chris Brice	Survivor: Carl Sharp

Two ties stand out above the rest in Sunday's second round, champions Woodlands against Bradford & Bingley and Baildon versus East Bierley.

For champions Woodlands the clash with the early season JCT 600 Bradford League Division One leaders gives them the chance to avenge one of their most disappointing defeats a six-wicket loss in the 2003 final at Wagon Lane.

It was the first of Woodlands' four successive final appearances and left their skipper Tim Orrell with the unwanted distinction of being the only player to hit a century in a Sovereign Health Care Priestley Cup final and end up on the losing side.

The Bradford & Bingley side contains a number of survivors from the 2003 success Carl Sharp - who captained them to that final success - Richard McCarthy, Rob Walker and Matthew Cockshott.

Woodlands will field six of the 2003 final side, Orrell, Nick Rushworth, Adam Goldthorpe, Murphy Walwyn, Safraz Ahmed and Richard Spittlehouse.

It promises to be an absorbing encounter and if the recent league clash between the sides is anyhting to go by it should be an enthralling one. Chris Thompson's 105 was one of the innings of the season.

It is going to be interesting to see how their new Sri Lankan all rounder Amila Runga and his colleagues in the middle order fair against a Woodlands bowling attack boosted by the presence of Chris Brice.

Just as home advantage proved useful to Bradford & Bingley in 2003, it could well be a strong factor in Woodlands' favour on Sunday.

Baildon and East Bierley are two clubs with good cup pedigrees and their clash at Jenny Lane promises to be a close encounter. It is also given an added edge by the fact that both clubs have opted to play without an overseas player this season.

Baildon have faded after a good start to the season but skipper Ian Philliskirk, new all-rounder Ahsan Butt and left arm spinner Mushtaq Ahmed have shown good form.

East Bierley, who last won the competition in 2000 when they completed their record-breaking hat-trick of wins and the cup could be their best chance of silverware this season.

Bierley have relied heavily on the runs of Yorkshire's Greg Wood and the JCT 600 Bradford League's new White Rose side captain Andrew Rennison and need their other batsmen to start firing.

This tie may well be decided on the quality of the fifth bowler each side employs and that could be where Baildon have a crucial advantage.

Holders Pudsey Congs have a tricky assignment. They visit Yeadon - never an easy ground for visiting teams - but have the experience, knowhow and personnel to ease through.

Skipper Matthew Doidge has at his disposal a well-balanced side who have run in to form after a faltering start.

Yeadon did well to see off Hanging Heaton in the first round but will need another huge performance from their outstanding overseas player Aamir Sajjad if they are to trouble a Congs side that has a bowling attack that is tailor made for cup combat with two pace bowlers in Mohammad Naved and Tom Glover, backed up of the reliable medium pace of Mark Bray and the variety spinner Jeremy Batty and Glenn Roberts bring.

One of the most fiercely contested battles is likely to be at Great Horton where last season's surprise quarter-finalist entertain Manningham Mills.

The rivalry between the clubs is intense and Great Horton will be striving to spring another upset, but Mills will be looking to their r overseas player Quaiser Abbas and the experienced but enigmatic Muenoddin Kadri for inspiration..

Great Horton will be looking to their skipper Mohammad Sharafat and their overseas player Suleman Khan for big performances as they try to claim another Division One scalp.

Two Division Two clubs who will be relishing the prospect of claiming the scalps of top flight teams are Idle and Farsley - both relegated last season.

Idle visit struggling Saltaire and if overseas player Mohammad Fayyaz can maintain his good all round form they could beat their Division One opponents.

Saltaire, apart from a good win at Cleckheaton, have been out of form and Ijaz Ahmed will be anxious for a cup win to boost morale. Saltaire's new overseas all-rounder Rahul Kanwat has created a good impression with his off spin bowling and batting and he will be a key figure for them.

Two years ago Bowling Old Lane, then a Division Two club, defeated Farsley, who were then in Division One, as they went on a run which took them all the way to the final before they were defeated by Woodlands.

Old Lane skipper Zubair Najeeb will be hoping that drawing Farsley is again a lucky omen, but he may not find the Red Lane club so charitable this time.

Farsley, under new skipper David Syers are going well and piling up the runs. Jamaican newcomer Lorenzo Ingram made 155 on his debut against Spen Victoria and if he can produce some more big-hitting fireworks Farsley could well avenge their 2006 loss.

Morley's alarming dip in form since the departure of overseas fast bowler Mohammas Azhar Ullah suggest they don't have the resources to trouble newly-promoted Esholt.

Even if Yorkshire batsman Chris Taylor is available to play it is the lack of depth in the bowling which appears to be Morley'e biggest weakness right now.

The final tie sees last season's beaten finalists Cleckheaton make the short journey to Hartshead Moor to tackle the side currently bottom of Division Two.

One man in the Cleckheaton line-up Hartshead Moor know all about is opening bowler Ian Wardlaw. He launched his career with them and still has strong ties with the club.

Wardlaw illustrated the threat he poses by taking five wickets in the win at East Bierley recently. With Mohammad Zaman scoring plenty of runs and spinner Tom Pringle back in their ranks its hard to see anything but a convincing Cleckheaton win.
