Furness host Carlisle on Saturday in the showdown that could decide the Cumbria League’s Premier Division title.
Champions Carlisle will travel south leading their hosts by three points and with four games to go after this particular match of the day.
Carlisle follow up with Whitehaven (home), Haverigg (home), Workington (home) and Keswick (away).
Furness finish with Lindal Moor (away), Egremont (home), Keswick (away) and Wigton (away).
The weather, of course, could play a part with the two leading protagonists situated at opposite ends of the county but the hope is that the title will be settled on the field.
Showers are forecast across the county for Saturday so it might see the Duckworth Lewis Method settling results with revised targets.
Furness, of course, are now targeting a trophy treble having retained the Robin Dunn Memorial Trophy last Sunday at the League’s T20 finals and they also have the Higson Cup final against Cockermouth to look forward to.
Workington won’t be giving up the fight in third place despite trailing the leaders by 20 points and Furness by 17, and they host Lindal Moor.
Their visitors, however, are battling to stay in the Premier Division and currently next to bottom have five points in hand of Haverigg, while just trailing by Cleator by a single point.
One of those three will be relegated, Cleator for the first time unless they can back up last week’s important win over Egremont.
Cleator travel to Millom while Haverigg are at Cockermouth with four vital matches left for the three relegation threatened clubs.
After this weekend the relevant fixtures are as follows:
Cleator have Cockermouth (home), Whitehaven (away), Wigton (home), Haverigg (away).
Lindal Moor play Furness (home), Cockermouth (away), Haverigg (home), Egremont (away).
Haverigg take-on Workington (home), Carlisle (away), Lindal Moor (away), Cleator (home).
Crucially Haverigg still have Lindal Moor and Cleator to play after two tough ones against Workington and Carlisle.
The other two games this weekend are Whitehaven v Keswick and Wigton v Egremont.
