Stockton Town are on 99 Wearside League goals and can reach the 100 mark for the season when they play Richmond Town at home.
Town have scored at least once in their last 50 games, so the omens for getting to the century point and beyond at Bishop Road West tomorrow are good to say the least.
Stephen Gill’s side only trail leaders Ryhope by two points and will have the dependable Alan Cossavella back after he missed last Saturday’s 6-0 pounding of Jarrow due to work commitments.
But Luke Whitaker looks likely to be out for at least three weeks as he recovers from a hamstring injury.
Town keeper Michael Arthur will be trying to stretch his club record sequence of clean sheets to seven matches.
But the former Billingham Town utility man - who was equally adept at left-back during his days at Bedford Terrace - will face a much sterner test than he did against shot-shy Jarrow as sixth-placed Richmond have a lively strikeforce.
Redcar Athletic are involved in a fight for third place with Cleator Moor Celtic and after being held to a goalless home draw by Prudhoe in midweek should get back among the goals at a Jarrow side still reeling from their defeat to six-shooting Stockton.
Redcar have a fantastic away record - they have not lost on the road since going down 3-1 against Cleator Moor in August and a result tomorrow would make it 12 away games without defeat.
Defender James Smuk and midfielder Craig Marsay should both be available to return to the side after coming back from holiday, and red-hot marksman Adam Preston is in the form of his life in front of goal.
Wolviston should be full of beans at Seaton Carew after halting a string of recent defeats with a rousing 6-0 win against Boldon which included two goals each for David Johnson and Danny Earl.
