TITLE rivals Selby and RI Amateurs collide in the next round of fixtures in division one of the York Amateur Bowling Association League.

Leaders Selby and closest challengers RI have dominated the season so far and their head-to-head could go a long way to deciding the eventual champions.

The remainder of the teams face a battle to avoid relegation, with six points separating the bottom seven.
