It's back to league action for Cleadon SC today when they attempt to take another step towards the double after reaching the final of the league cup.
They visit Coxhoe Athletic who are confident of reaching a mid-table position after languishing near the bottom for most of the season. Coxhoe though will have to produce something special if they are to inflict a rare defeat on the leaders.
Cleadon are at full strength but Kevin Bush, Mark Watson, Chris Mulkerrin and Mark Blayden cannot play for Coxhoe.
Jarrow face a difficult task at title hopefuls Windscale where they will be without Stephen Dunn, Mark Rumbles and Phil Dolphin. Dean Patton has completed a suspension.
Andy Harbron, recently signed from Thornaby, will make his second appearance in the Wolviston line-up against Gateshead Low Fell. Alex Degiorgis and Paul Roberts also come into contention.
New Marske are third from bottom but have played ten fewer games than second-from-basement Nissan SSC Sunderland. The Seasiders have selection problems ahead of their game at Harton and Westoe.
Andy Ackerley, Gary Alderson, Nicky Ward and Kirk Forsyth are absent and Adam Taylor, Jamie Bettney and Phil Taylor will need late checks.
Boldon CA will be much stronger for their home fixture with Ryhope CW. Graeme Nesbitt, Paul Oley, Lee Jackson and Lee Bays are all named.
Willington go to Teesside Athletic and boss Mark Fanning is pleased to have Gavin Luke, Scott Brassell, Les Langley, Neil Corking and Phil Foster returning.
Teesside have won their last five games without conceding a goal and have goalkeeper Phil Northway, Simon Tonge and new signing Chris Keegans added to the squad.
