SEVEN clubs have pulled out of the Craven League's Wynn Cup this year, while four teams are missing from the Cowling Cup.

Clubs were allowed to opt out of either competition in the forthcoming campaign, with Bradley, Chatburn, Cowling, Eldwick & Gilstead, Riddlesden, Skipton CI and Thornton opting out of the first-team knockout.

In the Cowling Cup, which retains its status of a 20/20 competition, Ingrow St John’s II, Long Lee II, Oakworth III and Sandy Lane II have withdrawn.

Having received a bye, Wynn Cup holders Bingley Congs enter the competition in the second round with an away day to either Cononley or Barrowford.

Last year's runners-up Sutton will be away to Denholme in the second round, in which champions Crossflatts travel to Foulridge.

The final is scheduled for August 6 at Bradley.

Wynn Cup first round (Sunday, May 14): Long Lee v Hepworth & Idle, Ingrow St John’s v Embsay, Haworth v Oakworth, Cononley v Barrowford.
