John Hall, recovering from a shoulder injury incurred in last Saturday's defeat by Sale, said yesterday he would be fit to take his place in the Bath back row for his last game before retirement. Swansea retain the players who beat Cardiff in the semi- final for tomorrow's Swalec Cup final at Cardiff Arms Park but Pontypridd show two changes from the side who knocked out Llanelli. Catt's hamstring injury means inclusion for the promising Richard Butland at outside-half, where Catt had been picked to play, with the lock Pat McCoy replacing Butland on the bench. Officially, Bath will not make a decision on Mike Catt until today but the holders already know they will be without the England full-back when they defend the Pilkington Cup against Wasps in tomorrow's final at Twickenham.

Macclesfield, the champions, conclude their fixtures at home to Stevenage tomorrow.. Cheltenham are not appealing.Although the top two finishers in the three feeder leagues are eligible for promotion, Conference officials are inspecting the grounds of only three clubs next week: Morecambe, the UniBond League runners-up, on Tuesday and, the following day, Slough and the newly built stadium at Hednesford, the Beazer Homes League champions. The news came as a shock to the Middlesex club, who may now see their promotion place given to second-placed Slough Town, where Enfield won 4-1 last night to increase their lead to 12 points. "We're in profit, and we believe we've got the highest turnover in our league," Tony Lazarou, the Enfield chairman, said yesterday. "The decision was a surprise, it's left us in limbo and has taken the gloss off our title success." Enfield are to appeal against the Conference verdict on 15 May, and are unwilling to discuss the reason for their rejection before then, although it is understood to involve alleged accounting problems. He was eventually stumped by Colin Metson off Neil Kendrick.. Enfield won the Diadora League title eight days ago - but they are unable to celebrate promotion to the GM Vauxhall Conference.

Along with Cheltenham, the runners-up in the Beazer Homes League, they have been refused admission to the GMVC on financial grounds.

Allan Lamb scored 124 - his 87th first-class century - as Northamptonshire reached 359 for 9 against Glamorgan at Cardiff. Craig White launched his bid for the England all-rounder's slot with 107, the third first-class century of his career, to steer Yorkshire out of trouble and to a total of 332 at Grace Road. Leicestershire, who had the visitors reeling at 133 for 5 at one stage, went on to lose Nigel Briers and nightwatchman Adrian Pierson for ducks to close at 1 for 2.
