West Bowling welcome Cumbrian outfit Kells in the opening round of the Ladbrokes Challenge Cup at Emsley's Recreation Ground on Saturday (2pm).
The venue may be a far cry from the final destination of Wembley Stadium but the atmosphere should be great for an intriguing cup tie.
West Bowling, who return to the Kingstone Press National Conference League this summer after a five year absence, are aware that they need to be quick out of the blocks against a Kells side that are renowned for their attacking flair in the Kingstone Press National Conference Premier League.
“When we met Castleford Lock Lane in the competition last year we got a shock at the high tempo the game was played from the start,” explained West Bowling coach and club stalwart Glenn Barraclough, “so we need to be on top of our game from the off in what will be a big test against a Kells side that are top of the tree.”
