The fifths in particular will be hoping that they can get some points on the board. As things stand, Param Saini's team are 9th in Division Three of the 1987 League (see here). If they stay there, that'd mean relegation. But, they are less than a win behind 8th placed Lohana and indeed they still have to play the Harrow side in the weeks to come.

Before that the 5ths welcome Wembley 4ths to Broom Road in the latest iteration of the Stadium Derby. Wembley are currently 7th and a victory for Saini's men would drag them firmly back in to the relegation bunfight. Furthermore, the 5ths will be looking to make good on a defeat at Wembley nine weeks ago. 62no from Nihal Tomar and 2-27 from The Wounded Giraffe couldn't prevent Wembley from winning by four wickets.

Ones welcome Hampstead
The ones look to move further away from the Premier League relegation zone when they welcome Hampstead to the Green (see here for the table). Hampstead have drifted out of the title race but they will still be a tough nut to crack.

The Ts therefore enter the fray both in hope and expectation. Hope in that they seem to perform better against the top sides and expectation in that they know they have already beaten Hampstead once this season. Plus, Parminder Singh is back in the ranks and given that's the leading wicket taker in the Ts' MCCL history that has to be a plus.

Twos trek to Southgate
Given the fact that the twos now look pretty much doomed, they travel to Southgate looking simply to get back in the saddle. On the one hand Southgate, too, are looking down the barrel of relegation so the Ts clearly have nothing to fear there. On the other hand the likes of Dan Taylor, who leads the side tomorrow in Eugene Berger's absence, has been simmering nicely in midweek cricket and indeed in a brief cameo against Acton last week. He's due some runs.

The rest of the twos' side also have an opportunity to show what they can do. The season is all but lost, but four games, four opportunities to score some runs and take some weeks. After all, it's 34 weeks of shopping after that ...

Now or never for the threes
The threes have had a rough few weeks. They have gone from outside contenders for promotion to mired in a relegation battle. Unlike the twos, there race is, however, far from run and they travel to North Middlesex 4ths knowing that a win will get them firmly back in the hunt to stay up.

North Middlesex will also be looking over their shoulders. If they lose on Saturday then they, too, will be well and truly back in the relegation mix (see here). Steve Watts will be hoping that Oli George can continue the good form he's shown in the 4s, and bowlers such as Firooz Ahmad can rediscover their wicket-taking knacks. One thing's for sure; the 3s will be going all out for maximum points.

4s look to keep the momentum going
The fourths are slowly but surely getting within striking distance of the promotion slots (see here). They aren't there yet and they need to keep winning; but, if they do, then this season could end up being a very successful one.

In Week 14 the 4s travel to 9th place Bessborough. Their hosts have picked up of late and will, of course, be desperate for points themselves. An intriguing encounter beckons. Hinay Dassani will be hoping that Uzzi Khan, fresh from a Cricket Week century, can continue to score runs, whilst Phil Smith - scorer of the winning runs on Monday against Redditch - will also be looking to quietly make a difference.

Come what may, all the Twickenham sides have plenty to play for. Go well, fellas.
