IT could be a case of fortune favouring the brave today as the leading sides take on the strugglers in the Warmseal Durham Senior League.

Burnmoor are currently two points ahead of Hetton Lyons, having won two games fewer - testimony to the benefits of their approach of batting first at every opportunity to maximise points potential. There is little to suggest they will change their tactics at Seaham Harbour today.

Harbour are not clear of danger yet, but after finishing bottom last season their current 10th placing represents progress. However, they will be up against a full strength visiting side.

Hetton Lyons will no doubt be considering a similar policy in their home game with rock bottom Durham City Durham City could be:

 Division A League Cup specialists Evenwood hope to make it five wins in eight years when they travel to Shildon tomorrow to contest the 2008 Hunter Cummings Memorial Trophy final.

While both sides have five cup wins to their credit over the 54-year history of the competition, Shildon's last success was in 1995 while Evenwood have been the most successful team in recent years.

Evenwood spokesman John Teesdale is confident his side has it in them to pull it off again.

"I think we've got a great chance, particularly if our pro performs as he can," he said.

"Our ex-player Chris Peareth is a threat, but we hear that Phil Timmens may not be playing and that would only be in our favour."
