LEIGH RMI have the opportunity to stake their claim for a top five spot as they face two home games in four days, .
Tonight they face Colwyn Bay at Hilton Park while Blythe are the visitors on Saturday and if results are favourable, RMI could move up a couple of places.
They have only lost twice in the last 17 league outings, both at the hands of Bishop Auckland, and with the injury situation becoming a little clearer plus several games in hand, they are in a very good position to take advantage should the top clubs stutter.
Graham Hill and Dave Ridings could be back tonight, while keith Evans will be a definite starter. Eric Rostron, who has not produced the form that earned him a contract since his month's suspension, could be dropped down to substitute.
"Eric is the ideal player to come off the bench and make an impact but team selection will depend on several late fitness tests," said manager Steve Waywell.
