Despite relegation from the top flight last season, the 2ndXI are putting on a strong show on Sundays in the Priestley Shield.

Woodlands (the cup holders and current league leaders in the Premier Division this season) will undoubtedly provide the sternest test yet for David Knight's charges.

The game will be played at home on Sunday 19th June.

The fixture means that the 4thXI will need to relocate their match against Stainland on the same day (details to follow direct with the squad).

Full Priestley Shield 3rd round draw:-

Townville v Bankfoot
Jer Lane v Methley
Lightcliffe v Woodlands
New Farnley v Bowling Old Lane

Of the current team, only Michael Brooke was alive when Lightcliffe (3 times past winners) last had the Shield in their possession - in 1979. Could this be their season?
