Bishop Auckland will give a debut to youngster Leon Poole when they play their last UniBond League home game at Spennymoor's Brewery Field this afternoon against Bamber Bridge.

Bishops will end their second campaign of ground-sharing today and will play the rest of their home games this season at Shildon's Dean Street.

Poole, a former Hartlepool youth player, could go straight into the team in defence as Bishops try to build on their recent good results.

"We want to finish playing at Spennymoor with a flourish," said manager Brian Healy.

"We'll be putting a young team on the field. They're all aged under 25, except for Richie Storr.

"They've had some very good results in the last two or three weeks and if they keep working hard then we can win."

Bishops are well behind the safety target and even though they will keep battling, it looks as if their fate will be decided in the corridors of football power if the UniBond League get the go-ahead to form a new Midland Division.

In the Premier Division, Whitby have doubts over keeper Ben Escritt and midfielder Marc Eccles at home to Bradford PA.

Gateshead can take a big step towards safety by winning at bottom club Leek Town, while Blyth can maintain their promotion push by beating AFC Telford.
