Kells and Wath Brow both face testing away trips on Saturday as a full National Conference League programme returns.
There was only one game in the Premier Division over Easter in which Hunslet Amateurs went top virtue of their 44-12 win at Lock Lane.
This weekend Kells travel to Rochdale Mayfield, who have proved something of a bogey team in the past while Wath Brow are on the road to Siddal.
Respective coaches Peter Smith and Ian Rooney will be pleased with the way their teams have started, but can also feel justified in believing there is more to come.
Kells are just back in the top flight after securing last season’s Division One title and have only been beaten once so far after a good go at Thatto Heath Crusaders.
Wath Brow have dropped three points but the home defeat against West Hull and the away draw at Lock Lane were both caused by conceding last minute scores.
In Division One Egremont Rangers have made an average start, doing well at home by failing on the road so far. On Saturday they will be looking tom make Gillfoot advantage tell when they entertain West Bowling.
Barrow Island just missed out last season after reaching the play-offs in Division Two and will be looking to go one better this time.
They travel to Myton Warriors this week-end when a win could launch them back into early play-off contention.
Division Three saw an early-season spate of Cumbrian derby clashes as the county is represented by four clubs. Newcomers Ellenborough and their only conquerors Millom have emerged as the best two so far.
Table toppers Ellenborough could be tested at Oldham St Anne’s in their latest fixture while Millom travel to Drighlington with some optimism.
Seaton Rangers were highly encouraged by their performance a fortnight ago in securing their first win against Drighlington but a trip to Beverley might be a different thing altogether.
Hensingham, looking to improve on last season’s finish next to bottom, also have a tough test at Bentley.
