Morpeth Town are staying put; they can neither be promoted or relegated this season and are fighting only for positions. For Rylands most of the excitement is over as they will neither be promoted or relegated this season.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
