Darryl Berry’s side go into the last round of the league’s matches at the top of the table alongside Lancashire, albeit the pair are separated by just one game point, the slight advantage lying in Red Rose hands.

The Roses rivals have both won their three matches subsequent to the opening day tie between them at Hillside.

Huddersfield’s Marsh will line up alongside fellow Walker Cup provisional squad member Dan Brown (Bedale) in the morning’s foursomes matches.

New Yorkshire champion Jamie Bower, of Meltham, will partner Shipley’s Will Whiteoak in the first match.

Bonday’s Dan Wasteney, who finished third behind Bower at Fulford in the county championship, plays alongside Jonathan Thomson (Lindrick), who recently finished fourth in the European Championship in Slovakia.

Bawtry’s Ben Brewster and Pike Hills’ Martin Brown are the fourth pairing, going out just ahead of Hallamshire’s Alex Fitzpatrick, who will represent England in the Italian international Under-16 boys’ championship next week, and is teamed with fellow teenager Kealan Lowe (Wheatley).
