Teesside Athletic, who have suffered with injuries recently, are again under strength for the trip to Wolviston.

Stephen Hodgson, Andrew Mitchell and Simon Tonge are definitely out while doubts surround the fitness of Simon Welch and Michael Traynor. Fortunately, captain Ian Johnson makes a welcome return and Gareth Maidens is now fully fit.

Wolviston improved their lowly position with victory at Nissan SSC Sunderland on Wednesday and they are considerably strengthened with the inclusion of Darren Paul, Chris Allen and Jonathan Stewart. Their only concern is Ian Perry.

Cleadon SC, toppled from pole position by Whitehaven last week, face another stern test at fourth-placed Windscale where they are unable to call upon Stephen Fyall. In addition, manager Doug Key awaits a fitness report on Brian Tully.

Birtley Town visit Gateshead Low Fell with Tony Thirkell back from suspension to help his side's challenge for the championship and improving Boldon CA aim to consolidate sixth place at neighbours Nissan SSC Sunderland.

Although David Stephenson comes into the reckoning, centre backs Andrew Whalley and Wayne Goodwin are suspended.

New Marske are involved in a bottom-of-the-table clash at Ferryhill Athletic who are just one point and one place better off than the Seasiders.

Several changes need to be made to the New Marske side because Paul Graham, Tommy Williams, Craig Mendum and Craig Gibbon are out. Fortunately, player manager Paul Harrison, James Smuk, Jamie Bettney and Trefor Williams are back.

Stokesley go to Carlin How in the semi-final of the North Riding County Cup.

Secretary Peter Grainge is hopeful of Andrew Murphy, Matthew Homan and Matthew Drury returning.

Three ties go ahead in the Third Round of the Monkwearmouth Charity Cup.

Ryhope CW host Annfield Plain hoping to avenge a recent 1-0 defeat. The Wearsiders cannot call upon Kevin Burns and Shaun Petch, injured in the previous game with the Plain, is doubtful.

Jarrow are at Whitehaven and manager Ali Brown will have to get along without seven players who are all injured. Josh Carmichael, Craig Hood, Ryan Houson, Stephen Dunn, Phil Dolphin, Graham Hutchinson and Paul Knight are all out. He is set to hand former Easington player Stephen Riley his debut.

Harton and Westoe are also in Cumbria at Cleator Moor Celtic with boss RonnieThompson awaiting reports on the fitness of Kevin Burke and Carl McMann. Jack Burrell is included in the squad.
