Both tearns have the same number of points, but the Lin-js colns have one game in hand and a win for either team will place them in the running for the leadership.
The Fusiliers have been forced to make two changes in their team as Tucker and Coakley are required for the senior team in place of Sullivan and Ellis, both of whom are on the injured list.
