Vishal Tripathi could make his first appearance of the season for Burnley if Northants give the all-rounder the all-clear.

Burnley play Nelson in a tasty derby at Turf Moor.

Colin Pemberton’s Nelson were Worsley Cup winners in 2006 and are enjoying a decent season, especially now professional Burton de Wett has arrived in the country, while Burnley have not lifted the trophy since 1984 when Mudassar Nazar was professional.

Last year’s two beaten semi-finalists Church and Haslingden meet in an intriguing clash at West End.

Haslingden are in glorious form in the league with six wins from six, while Church are in top form and skittled Burnley for just 30 last Sunday.

Todmorden were beaten finalists last season and they set out on their 2010 campaign when they face Lowerhouse at Centre Vale and Bacup lock horns with Rishton at Lanehead.

Cup holders Ramsbottom and Accrington have byes into the second round draw, which will be made on Wednesday night.
