Supermarine face another crucial relegation clash tomorrow, when they host troubled Shepshed Dynamo.

A wretched run of form has seen Shepshed slip to 16th in the division and Marine manager John Murphy insists the Midlanders will be wary of getting embroiled in the relegation trouble.

"They have had a poor run, and I think they will be looking nervously over their shoulder," said Murphy.

"They are a strange side, and despite their recent form, you never know quite what to expect."

With a daunting festive programme looming, it is imperative that Marine pick up points against what appears to be weaker opposition.

Murphy confirmed: "These are the type of games we need to be getting results from.

"We travel to Chippenham and Weston over Christmas, and it's no good picking up a point in those games if you lose to the likes of Shepshed.

"That said, we shouldn't put pressure on ourselves. We must relax, otherwisewe we won't play the way we can."

Marine are near enough at full strength ahead of the game.

Nick Beaverstock returns from suspension, and former Chippenham full-back Lea James is set to make his debut.

The only injury doubts are Steve Bennett and Peter Macklin. Both have niggles, but should prove their fitness in time for kick-off.

n A potential four-figure crowd will witness the biggest game of the Dr Martens season tomorrow, when the top two in the Western Division go head to head.

Tommy Saunders takes his second placed Chippenham Town to table-topping Halesowen in a contest that will have a major say in the eventual destination of the championship.

"It's a massive, massive game," said Saunders. "If we win it, then I believe we will be favourites for the title, and rightly so.

"If they win, the gap between us will be seven points, and that would be difficult to close."

Saunders has a full complement of players at his disposal, with only fringe players Rob Skidmore and Dave Bright facing late tests.

Winger Steve Brown returns from suspension, but may struggle to reclaim his place in a side that has scored nine without reply in their last two games.

n Cirencester Town will be looking to prevent a mini-crisis turning into full-scale turmoil when they visit rejuvenated Bilston tomorrow.

Ciren had been going well, but three defeats in a week the latest at home to lowly Rocester has seen Ray Baverstock's side slip back into the relegation dog fight.

"We were atrocious against Rocester," said Baverstock. "Every department was poor, and if the players don't put it right over Christmas, I will be bringing in some fresh blood in the new year.

"I want to pick up seven or eight points over the Christmas programme to make sure we stop the rot and distance ourselves from the bottom places."

Ciren's cause has been boosted by the return of Steve Richardson and Andy Wollen.

Dave Gee may return to action as well, after a nagging leg injury. Only Nathan Holt will miss the trip to the black country.
