Guisborough face the first of three “cup finals” as they close in on the Durham and North One title.
The Priorymen were in scintillating form last weekend as they wiped the floor with fourth-placed Consett, running out 78-0 winners.
It’s now the final away match of the season for Trevor Edwards’ side, as they head to struggling Blyth knowing any slip-up could be fatal.
A bonus point victory is crucial for Guisborough, as they remain above Morpeth only on points difference. Their Northumbrian title rivals face a tough trip to third-placed Durham City.
In the same division, Stockton head to Gosforth keen to make amends for the 29-25 home defeat in November’s reverse fixture.
Last weekend’s win over Ryton saw Stockton cement sixth spot, but they will be without quartet Liam Healy, Martin Dixon, Matt Austen and Tom Nelson this weekend.
Full-back Jonny Horner and centre Joel Simpson are also unavailable, so Dan Phinn and Ritchie Brown return.
In National Three North, Billingham can edge closer to the top five with a victory at Huddersfield YMCA.
Last weekend saw the Teessiders beat Cleckheaton at Greenwood Road, and captain Peter Evans has demanded three wins to round off a successful season.
Middlesbrough host Yarnbury in Yorkshire One looking to cement third place, while Yarm host Chester-le-Street in Durham and North Three’s mid-table battle.
