Hull Dockers will look to complete their fourth successive win against Skirlaugh at Tower Grange tomorrow (2pm).
With both sides already out of the ACE Insurance National Cup, the revised Premier Division fixtures have paired them together.
Having both had good wins in the Carnegie Challenge Cup last week, it is bound to be a spicy encounter.
"We have beaten Skirlaugh the last three times we have played them and we'll be looking to do it again," said Dockers coach Lee Richardson.
"It was a trek to St Albans last week, but we got somewhere near in getting the right result. We'll maybe have to do things a lot better this week against Skirlaugh.
"Seven players missed out last week, but I expect a few of them to be back. I'm looking forward to it and it's going to be an interesting and exciting game." Dockers welcome back full-back Danny Ulyatt, who picked up a knock at Queens and didn't travel south, with Matty Emerson and Phil Elbourne also set to return. It is Dockers' first home game since November 24 due to postponements and away fixtures in the various cup competitions. Skirlaugh are equally upbeat and have just one injured absentee. "We go into this game with confidence after last week's win over Waterhead and our only injured player is still Brendan Lewis," said coach Tony Spence.
"We're looking forward to this game even though it has come to us rather unexpectedly.
"Dockers and Skirlaugh games are always tough as there are a few of our former players with them.
"This will be a game of patience and we'll take the chances which are on offer.
"We are prepared for it, although the boggy ground is more suited to their way of playing then ours."
