Stags coach Sammy Hutton is hoping the likes of Tom Dixon, Nick Miller, Tom Barker and Tom Bellerby will be available to help clinch the title at the first time of asking.

By comparison there is little at stake at Kelleythorpe. Chocky misses out because he broke his thumb in two places in the first half at Rovers, Aaaron Myers is on England Under 18 duty and Carl Miller is working away. Jon Boatman is out for the rest of the season with the shoulder injury he sustained at the Friarage.

It provides a chance to give Nogger Junior a first team start, after impressing at every level this season, and Phil Hendeson will slot smoothly into the line-outs.

Tim Sawyer returns to No 8 to make way for Nogger while Henry Tones will be champing at the bit, on his return to first team action, after stepping down to give Myers some experience of senior rugby.

The backs remain unchanged but Darren Thomas will be on the bench on his return from injury. He will be alongside the returning Stu Bennett who is looking for one or two more games before possibly hanging up hios boots for good. Dave Garside, imporving quickly on his return to rugby from boxing, will also be on the bench.

With little at stake it promises to be an open affair. Driffield impressed once again when they won 25-22 at Brinkburn to halt our resurgence and were our early favourites for promotion this season. They are capable of playing a very skillful and expansive game ... but as we have proved in recent weeks so are we.

Driffield coach Stu Cooper makes a number of changes to the side which despatched Rovers last week ... notably the return of open side flanker Kerry Wood who was no doubt kept in reserve for our arrival. Also Col Yates comes back in at prop, as Karl Ridsdale takes his turn on the bench in normal prop rotation. The backs remain the same. Chris Lunn keeps his place at hooker having played a fine game on his debut. Chris Hyde is rewarded for his sterling performance out of position at flanker last week by returning to his favoured second row alongside Andrew Turton. Chris Chapman drops to the bench.
