Easts are in the third and final relegation place, two points adrift of safety. After this weekend they have just two games left, at mid-table Dudley Hill and against the team above them on the table Clock Face Miners. Luke Tomlinson, Jason Priestley and Tom Norfolk all miss out due to injury, Anthony Ward is a fitness doubt, but Ash James and Adam Keady will return.

Victory at Egremont Rangers tomorrow would cement champions Hunslet Club Parkside’s place in the Premier Division’s top-four.
