There's weekend football fixtures for Scarborough Athletic, Whitby Town and Bridlington Town.
Despite a run of poor results - Scarborough Athletic remain just 3 points outside the play off places in the National League North.
Today they take on high flying, top of the table Tamworth, at home in a 3pm kick off.
Boss Jono Greening is determined to make sure the season ends on a high and has this message for the supporters, that he gave Scarborough Athletic TV.
Jono does have some injury concerns to consider before the game...
Live commentary on that game from around 3pm on This Is The Coast Extra.
Following last weekend's defeat to Gainsborough Trinity, Whitby Town have a chance to make amends, as they look to protect a proud record of having not been beaten at home since September.
It won't be easy though, given that 2-0 loss in the reverse fixture at Gainsborough.
Boss Nathan Haslam, who brought in 19-year-old winger Max Howells on loan from Middlesbrough on Friday, is keen to protect their home record....
And finally....

Third time lucky for Pontefract trip
It’s a game that has been rescheduled on two occasions, as Bridlington Town make the journey to West Yorkshire to take on Pontefract Collieries.
Originally scheduled for 2nd December, that was called off due to a frozen pitch, with a new date of 10th February decided. However, a waterlogged pitch called that one off. With teams having Saturday 9th March free in their calendars, the game was moved to then.
As for Pontefract, they’ve picked up a couple of defeats away from home in the league, losing 1-0 and 2-0 against North Ferriby and Dunston, respectively.
However, they have since progressed to the West Riding Cup Final, beating Northern Counties East League Premier side Campion AFC 3-2.
It was the Colls’ first of four consecutive home matches, as they’ll welcome Ashington AFC on Tuesday evening before hosting the Seasiders and then North Ferriby.
Whilst games are coming in quick succession for Pontefract, it will have been two weeks since Bridlington Town’s last game.
They had no game on Saturday 2nd March, as their originally planned match against Belper Town had been moved forward to September.
In addition, they were meant to play in the East Riding Senior Cup Semi Final against Sculcoates Amateurs on Tuesday 5th March, though that was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch. It will now take place a fortnight later.
The Seasiders last match was away from home against Brighouse Town. Every player battled hard and put in exceptional workrate, as the Seasiders left with what could be a vital point.
Despite taking the lead on two occasions through substitute Ellis Barkworth, Brighouse were able to strike back after both goals as the game finished 2-2.
In terms of the league table, Saturday’s hosts are knocking on the door of the playoffs, occupying 7th position, though they are only two points off 5th with three games in hand. Bridlington Town are sitting in 16th, with the Brighouse draw taking them onto 30 points.
It’s been nearly a year since the two sides faced each other, with the game last season at the Hunters Stadium ending in a 1-1 draw.
They won’t have to wait anywhere near that long before playing each other again, though, as just two weeks later the two sides will face each other at the Hudgell Solicitor Stadium.
