THE Bradford League may have merged with the Central Yorkshire League but Keighley will face familiar foes in one of the four preliminary- round ties in the Priestley Cup next year.

They travel to fellow Championship Division side Bankfoot on Sunday, May 1, with the winners travelling to Townville in the first round a fortnight later.

Keighley will have home advantage against Bankfoot in the preliminary round of the Priestley Shield, also on Sunday, May 1, with the victors hosting Wakefield St Michaels two weeks afterwards.
