NINE Drakes League second XI matches will have to be staffed by club umpires on Saturday.

Holidays have taken a toll on the Huddersfield Umpires Association, so clubs in the Drakes Premiership Two, Frank Platt Championship Two and Cedar Court Conference Two are being asked to provide officials this weekend.

In the second XI top flight, Holmfirth are asked to send an umpire to Cawthorne and, likewise, Elland to Golcar.

Marsden and Delph need to take a club umpire to Clayton West and Emley respectively in the Championship Two, while all the away teams in Conference Two need to take an umpire with the exception of Rastrick at Denby Dale.
