DEADLY Yorkshire ECB County Premier Cricket League rivals Harrogate and York are on a collision course on the road to Lord's.

They are scheduled to meet in the fifth round of the NCA National Club Knock Out Cup Competition providing they win their fourth round games on Sunday.

York take on Methley at Clifton Park, while Harrogate meet Shepley at St George's Road.

Harrogate, who landed a lucrative two year sponsorship deal with Bass Brewers this week in a partnership that Harrogate claim will secure the long-term future of the club, make just one change in the side that faces Doncaster at Town Fields in the Yorkshire League tomorrow as Tom Durrance takes the place of Oliver Hutton, who is unavailable for the Knock Out game on Sunday.

York are at home to Barnsley in the league tomorrow with Simon Mason returning from holiday to take his place at number three at the expense of Ed Senneck, who is in the second team against Crayke tomorrow in the Hunter's Estate Agents York Senior League.

Greg How is missing from the York side for the second week running as he has returned to Australia for a holiday before moving from the York area to Bishop's Stortford to take up an appointment with supermarket chain Sainburys.

How has been a valuable ever-present in the York side for the last ten years.

Senneck returns to the York side on Sunday against Methley because young spin bowler Tom Pringle is unavailable. Graham Macfall takes the place of Australian all-rounder Nash Stone as overseas players are not eligible to play in the National Knock Out Cup.

Scarborough, who are at Appleby Frodingham tomorrow will be without Mark Wells until July as the opening bowler is unavailable because of work commitments.
