NEW Earswick travel to face a potential banana skin in Dodworth, made more slippy by the fact they may have one eye on next week.
The All Blacks need just four points from six games to assure promotion from Pennine League division one, and they could achieve that by this time next week as they have a game at Dudley Hill on Wednesday.
But the title is still up for grabs and they meet undefeated leaders Halifax Irish - the only team to beat them - on Easter Saturday. And that game is followed three days later by the York and District Cup final against York Acorn.
Coach Simon Baynes said: "We've got all those games in just over a week so might have to juggle things a bit."
All Blacks might also have up to four players involved in York City Knights Academy's match at Widnes tomorrow.
Baynes said: "We'll play it by ear. We'll see what they're like on Saturday morning, but we'll have contingency plans."
They are boosted by the probable return of full-back Steve Perks (ankle) Al Davison (hamstring). But Baynes added: "Dodworth are a big forward team. They will be good on their own pitch and we can't take it easy."
Selby Warriors will be praying for the impossible as their promotion hopes rely on whipping boys Thornton overturning Wyke. Selby, in second place, have finished their fixtures and Wyke are a point behind with this game to play.
York Acorn 'A' end their programme in division three at home to Bank Top Harriers.
