Calder face another test of their title credentials
CALDER 76 travel to Ryburn United on Saturday in what should promises to be another cracking top-of-the-table clash in Haslem-Sheppard Halifax League Division One.
Calder 76 romped to a 9-1 home triumph over Salem last time out, making it two wins from their last two and notching-up 16 goals in the process.
The result lifted Calder above Salem and into second place ahead of their next challenge this weekend when they visit Ryburn United who are unbeaten in their last six in league and cup and sit two places and two points behind Calder in the table.
A rich vein of form has seen AFC Crossleys climb to the top of the table. Wins in their last six league and cup games have been inspired by the form of Tom McGregor with ten goals and Lewis Oldridge with nine. Crossleys travel to Shelf United Reserves this weekend.
Salem will be hoping to get back to winning ways St Columbas while the bottom two clash at Northowram Reserves where Midgley United Reserves will hope to replicate their fine 8-5 win over Elland United last weekend.
Hebden Royd Red Star lost ground at the top of the HaslamSheppard Halifax League Premier Division with a frustrating 3-1 home defeat to Shelf.

Denholme United host Greetland and will be looking to pick up three precious points in their fight to edge closer to top flight safety.
Midgley United have been up and down but hosting Illingworth St Mary’s gives them the chance of having one of their better days.
