Henley Hawks can secure their National League 1 status if they win away to Exeter Chiefs tomorrow (3pm).
But Hawks, who require one win from their last two games to guarantee avoiding relegation, have a number of injury worries.
Jeff Atkinson is definitely out with a damaged shoulder, while Dave Tibbott is extremely doubtful, having lasted only 20 minutes at Bristol last weekend.
The good news for Henley is that forward James Winterbottom is expected to recover from his neck problem.
Exeter will prove to be a tough test, and the relegation battle looks likely to go down to the last game - that is unless Coventry lose at home to already-doomed Manchester tomorrow.
Coventry's final game of the season is at struggling Wakefield on April 24.
The Hawks conclude their campaign on the same day at home to Bedford.
Wakefield are two points ahead of the Hawks, but have just one game to play.
They can still go down if Coventy win both games in hand and if Henley win one of their last two matches.
In the event of teams finishing level on points, league positions will be determined by the number of wins, not points difference. TOMORROW'S TEAM Henley Hawks (v Exeter Chiefs away, 3): from Laird, Davies, Tibbott, James, R Osman, Van Zyl, O'Driscoll, Ejikeme, Reeves, Chilten, Smaje, Johnstone (capt), Barrett, Hamilton-Smith, Hopcroft, Grierson, Winterbottom, Harris, Green, Martin, Gates, Hardy, Venner, Hayman.
