IT'S first versus second at the top of the Notts Premier League as leaders Clifton travel to reigning champions West Indian Cavaliers tomorrow.

In what looks like a mouth-watering clash that could already go a long way to deciding the final destination of the title, free-scoring Clifton look likely to be without their professionals, Alex Hales and Luke Fletcher, as Nottinghamshire have a match at Oxford University.

Likewise, Bilal Shafayat may be missing for the Cavaliers but Surrey have no fixture so Usman Afzaal should be available for the home side.

And that would spell good news for Cavs, with Afzaal making a career-best 204 not out for Surrey in their recent win over Northants in the County Championship.

Clifton and Cavs were held to winning draws last weekend, against Plumtree and Attenborough respectively, but their overall form so far this season should still produce the clash of the day.

Plumtree will have their work cut out when they play host to third-placed Papplewick, who are currently pressing the top two clubs having put together some impressive performances in recent games.

Attenborough face a similar task when Caythorpe pay them a visit as their recent run has brought them into fourth place following their win at Wollaton last Saturday.

Wollaton will be eager to re-establish their challenge at the top after faltering in recent weeks but they are away to Kimberley who seem to have found the winning touch again.

An interesting contest could be on hand at Welbeck when they are visited by neighbours Mansfield Hosiery Mills. Both have shown some good form this season with strong early-order performances, particularly the home side.

Cuckney will be looking to bounce back following their defeat at Papplewick last week and are at home to Farnsfield, who will be hoping to find their elusive first win in the Premier League.
