Coxhoe Athletic are ravaged by injuries ahead of this afternoon's visit from Boldon CA.
"I've got six players doubtful and will not know until just before kick-off what team I can put out," said manager Gary Forrest.
Rob Bowman, Peter Croft, Gary O'Hara, Michael Hodgson, Andrew Richardson and Scott Richards are all doubtful. In contrast, Boldon CA have a much healthier squad and chairman Kevin Oliver anticipates goalkeeper Andrew Hunter and centre-back Graham Nesbitt both resuming.
Mark Williams is back after completing a lengthy suspension. Darlington RA meet New Marske at Brinkburn Road without Nigel Bolton and Mark Keenan, who are not expected to play again this season.
Boss Dave Woodcock reckons Dave Alderson is very doubtful but with a squad of 16 to choose from, he is confident of naming a winning line-up.
Jarrow, aiming to finish in the top four which would be their highest rating since they entered the league, have two important fixtures over the weekend.
Today Windscale visit Perth Green, when Jarrow will be at full strength with the returning Craig Hood and Andrew Barclay included. On Monday they again have home advantage against Stokesley SC in the final of the Monkwearmouth Charity Cup (11am).
Wolviston, who are without a win since November, are now fourth from bottom, equal on points with today's opponents Shotton Comrades.
The visitors, encouraged by their recent form, miss a trio of players with Paul Griffiths, Stephen Digby and Michael Pittam ruled out.
Birtley Town have a clean bill of health for their fixture with Gateshead Reserves and Annfield Plain welcome back Philip Raisbeck but Dave Watson will need a check on his fitness after being injured last weekend.
