All of Cumbria’s eight National Conference League sides are involved in crucial matches.
None more so than in Division Three where two county derby clashes will determine promotion prospects for two of the sides involved.
Ellenborough are joint top with Oldham St Anne’s with the west Cumbrians just five points behind their rivals on points differential.
Both play their final games of the season. Victories will clinch promotion for both, but the final scores will determine who go up as champions.
Elbra haven’t far to travel, as they visit Hensingham – second bottom with just three wins from 16 games so far.
St Anne’s go to Beverley who are still not certain of a play-off spot, so could face determined opposition.
Meanwhile Millom are certain to be involved in the play-offs but will want to win well at bottom side Seaton Rangers to pip Leigh East for third place.
They go into the game 39 points worse off than the Lancashire side on scoring differential.
In the top flight Kells entertain Leigh Miners Rangers knowing that a win will retain their Premier Division status. A defeat would take it down to the wire,
At the top end of the table third-placed Wath Brow travel to leaders Hunslet Amateurs assured of a play-off place while their hosts look destined for the League leaders prize.
Egremont Rangers hold second place in Division One on scoring differential from Heworth and both have two games to play.
Tomorrow Egremont have a tricky test on Humberside at fourth-placed Skirlaugh but Heworth don’t have a fixture after Featherstone Lions resigned from the League.
Egremont are assured of at least a play-off place but they want automatic promotion so the Skirlaugh game is crucial.
Finally in Division Two Barrow Island are competing strongly for a play-off berth.
Six teams are in contention for the four places, one of them Dewsbury Celtic where the Islanders travel to tomorrow.
