SEDGLEY PARK are hoping Colin Stephens will be pointing the way to victory again tomorrow when they travel to take on Dudley Kingswinford in the Midlands for the first time.

Stephens joined the Park Lane club last summer and has been at the forefront of their promotion push in the RFU National League Three (North).

In the last two games the former Welsh international half back has scored a total of 53 points -- including a 31-point club record in the 56-17 win at Nuneaton.

"Sedgley as a club are moving forward and looking to the future. They want to get somewhere -- which is why we are here," said the goalkicking ace.

"We had a bit of a blip early doors as a result of a new team coming together. Since then we have put together a string of good results. "We are playing good rugby. We are hoping we can continue it, win all of our games and wait for somebody above us to slip up.

"Our remaining fixtures are in our favour," says Stephens. "Of our last 11 games, seven of them are at home and just four away.

"Dudley Kingswinford are just below us in the table and they are a tricky side. We beat them convincingly at home, but it's different when you have to travel and take them on on their own ground, but we are confident we will put a performance in and get a result."

The thaw came too late to save Sedgley Park's home game against Morley last Saturday and the club now has a backlog of three fixtures, all at Park Lane.

But with those seven home games, Sedgley have much the easiest late season run-in of the four promotion candidates.

One match which did beat the freeze last Saturday was New Brighton's home game against bottom club Sandal.

The expected win saw the Wirral club go into second place ahead of most people's favourites, Stourbridge. The winning margin was not as expected, only 35-28.

This Saturday sees the clash between Stourbridge and Doncaster. New Brighton are at distant Aspatria, with Sedgley , of course, at Dudley Kingswinford.

Dudley came into the league this season, promoted as champions of Midlands One.

Early results were encouraging, including a 48-13 victory over Nuneaton, but Sedgley beat them easily enough 37-5 in November.

They will undoubtedly be a force to be reckoned with at home, their results there including a 33-3 win against Doncaster.

For Sedgley Park, in this and every game, a win is vital if promotion is to be achieved.
