GAME BRIEFING : Boro come to Bower Park with a single-minded mission to stay top of the table. The fight for the single promotion spot is too close to call. Five games each to go for the Top 3. In theory, Morpeth have it in their own hands as they will play both Boro and Northern but this also makes their overall task harder than that faced by the other two. The real key is bonus points. The team that can keep adding 5 per game to their tally will be champions. Aspatria have a grandstand seat to assess the strengths of the rivals as next week the Black Reds travel to Northern.

It hardly seems possible that starting today there are only 5 games left in the league season. A glance at the table would suggest that the Black Reds have all still to play for.
