Team News
James Rowe said that there are no more injury problems to report ahead of Saturday’s game.
From the dugout:
James Rowe: “If they win, they still need to rely on other results and they have got a very slim chance of getting in the play-offs.
“We’re obviously in there and we’re the target. There are three teams that want to finish above us. It is in our hands.”
