There is yet another huge match for Wharfedale this Saturday as the SSE National League One season runs down.

Cambridge and Sedgley Park have already filled two of the three relegation places, while the third is being fought out between Wharfedale and Macclesfield.

The Cheshire side have a very difficult match at third-placed Blaydon, but Wharfedale coach Tom McGee wants his side to ignore that.

He said: “Our future is in our own hands. We need two points more than Macclesfield but we have a game in hand, so it’s all down to us.

"We have been playing good rugby in recent weeks and I know that, if we keep our focus, we can do it.”

Wharfedale’s first-time visitors to The Avenue are the venerable Richmond.

Soon after leagues began, the famous London side were promoted to the top division, but when the money ran out they were consigned to the basement division, but season by season they have clawed their way back.

Like many newly-promoted clubs, they have done well in their first season, and will be keen to hold on to their seventh place.

But they are having a hesitant end to the season with only two wins from their last seven matches -  a run which began with a home defeat to Macclesfield.

Wharfedale are expecting a huge crowd and parking will be limited, so spectators are urged to arrive early.

The Wharfedale selectors are once again deprived of the services of Christian Georgiou, who is required elsewhere.

The selectors have named a squad which includes, for the first time, promising teenage winger Josh Prell.

Wharfedale (home to Richmond) from: T Barrett, R Brown, L Davies, N Dickinson, J Donkin, J Druce, J Gough, S Graham, L Gray, S Horsfall, A Howard, I Larkin, J Mason, A Myers, J Prell, R Rhodes, C Steel, M Tampin, T Wareing, A Whaites, P Woodhead.
