Check out our weekly previews and predictions ahead of this weekends games.
Bracknell v Moseley
After back-to-back wins over Sedgley Park and Wharfedale Moseley will fancy their chances of making it a hat trick with the visit to Bracknell where a win would see then close to within a point of their hosts.
Bracknell were beaten at Nuneaton last Saturday and will be keen to get back to winning ways as quickly as possible.
What is going on at Moseley after some dreadful result to put together back to back wins against two of the best sides in the division asking the question what have they been doing all season?
When the sides met at Moseley earlier in the season the matched ended as a 14 all draw.
Team news:
Prediction: Moseley to continue good recent run with a win by less than 10 points.

Doncaster v Lydney
Doncaster are one of the form sides in National Two at the moment with four wins in their last five matches and have gone up to fourth spot in the league table.
Lydney picked up just their second win of the season last Saturday with a home success over Harrogate but on the road they lost all nine of their matches so it could well be a case of damage limitation.
When the sides met at Regentsholme earlier in the season the visitors were convincing winners 49-9.
Team news:
Prediction: Doncaster to record 15 point plus win as they look to keep in touch with the top sides in the division.

Harrogate v Nuneaton
On current Form only one winner in this one and that is Nuneaton who are on a roll at present and are up into third place in the National Two league table. Harrogate have not won in seven now and picked up just one point in that period with a home draw against Rosslyn Park.
At the start of the season this would have been down for a home banker, which just shows how things can change over the course of the season.
When the sides met earlier in the season Harrogate left Liberty Way with the points after an exciting match, which went down to the wire with the visitors triumphing 34-32.
Team news:
Prediction: Away win as Harrogate’s recent bad run continues. .

Rugby Lions v Rosslyn Park
This is a huge game for both sides at this stage of the season with the Lions knowing they can open up a five-point gap on Rosslyn Park, which at this stage of the season is a significant margin. Park on the other hand know that an away win for them would put them within a point of the Lions and give them some confidence as on the road this season they have managed just three points with a win at Lydney and a draw at Harrogate.
The Lions at home have done reasonable well with five wins from eight matches to date.
Park are going for a double over Rugby having already won the home match between the two sides 31-17 earlier in the season.
Team news:
Prediction: Tough to call but go home win less than five points.

Sedgley Park v Esher
Sedgley Park will be looking to stop the rot after three successive league defeats with this home fixture against Esher. Defeats at Wharfedale and Nottingham and a home loss to Moseley has seen Park dragged back towards the pack and they now have just a two point lead at the top of the table.
Esher will be hoping the run continues for another week as they try and pull away from the relegation zone and build on their recent form which has seen them win five of their last six matches.
When the sides met earlier in the season Park came away with the points after a 28-19 victory.
Team news:
Prediction: Park to return to winning ways with narrow home success less than 10 points. .

Stourbridge v Newbury
Three wins in their last five matches have helped Newbury to the lofty heights of 10th place in the National Two table but they are only a point off the relegation zone so will be keen to try and come away from Stourbridge with the points.
Stourbridge are looking to complete the double over Newbury having already won 33-16 at Monks Lane earlier in the season.
Stourbridge sit in 8th place in the table five points clear of the relegation zone and a win here would see them move even further away form the relegation zone as they look to avoid a run of defeats which could drag them into it.
Team news:
Prediction: Another tough call but home win less than 10 points. .

Wharfedale v Nottingham
This is a big game for both sides at Threshfields as Wharfedale play host to Nottingham. Wharfedale have slipped to fifth place in the National Two League table after losing three of their last four league matches and a win here would renew confidence and get than back within two points of Nottingham who would go six points ahead of the Dalemens with a victory.
Nottingham on the other hand are on a great winning run and after their win last weekend over leaders Sedgley Park they are within two of the leaders and a win here would be a huge boost for their promotion chances.
Away from home is where Nottingham have struggled a bit this season with three defeats and a draw from their eight matches.
When the sides met earlier in the season Nottingham were winners n a closely fought contest 23-18.
Team news:
Prediction: In Form Nottingham to take the points by less than seven.
