Wolviston have an excellent chance of victory at bottom-of-the-table Jarrow - but manager Graham Howard will be quick to remind his players of the last time they encountered a basement side.

"We were favourites to win but Cleadon turned the form book on its head," said secretary Keith Simpson.

"Graham is determined that we will not slip up again since victory could take us to the top."

Guy Whatmore, who scored twice last week, retains his place even though regular striker John Symon is available. Club captain Andy Clark is recalled to renew his central defensive partnership with John Patterson.

Redcar Town aim to blunt the title aspirations of leaders Birtley Town, but secretary Willie McGeogh reckons the side will have to play better than last week.

"It is a tough assignment and I am looking for improvement after losing to Cleadon,'' he said.

Lee Leneghan, who was on duty with North Riding Youths last weekend, returns to full-back and Paul Dodkins lines up in midfield.

North Shields will be out to make it five consecutive league victories when they visit Barnard Castle today where Neil Hartley could make his seasonal debut. Paul Ross plays, but Eddie Miller is injured and Robert Wake will undergo a late fitness test.

Cleadon meet title-chasing New Marske at Jack Clark Park without Kevin Hurst, Dave Watson and Mark Pearce, who are all injured.

New Marske cannot call upon Ian Mudd or Gary Owens, but David Brown returns from injury.

Darlington RA miss Mark Radmore for their game with Annfield Plain at Brinkburn Road. Secretary Martyn Jackson is hopeful that Gary Lowes will have recovered from a knock.

The Plain await news on the fitness of Chris Soulsby, Alan College and Stephen Watchman.

Harton and Westoe manager David Jones has Keith Mason available after being sidelined through injury for a month. Visitors Ryhope CW have Phil Thompson, Ryan McKenna, Neil Johnson and Alan Surtees all sidelined.

Stokesley SC have regular goalkeeper Grant Hine free from the injury which kept him out of last week's game when David Leng made his debut.

Opponents Boldon CA have only David Graham missing. Captain Stuart Patterson, Stephen Handy, Gordon Williams and long-term injury victim Paul Oley should all make the journey.
