North Force must consign bottom-of-the-table Lynn Avon to second division football next season when they visit Whangarei tomorrow.

The home side still has four games left to avoid the drop while their relegation rivals Lynn Avon and Metro play their final games tomorrow.

North Force must forget about second chances and show no mercy by defeating Lynn Avon but it won't be easy. Only a win will do for their rivals and it is never easy to beat a team with their backs against the wall.

The good work that engineered a fantastic come-from-behind win last week against Albany in Auckland will be squandered if the home side fail to pick up three points tomorrow.

Metro face a tough road trip to Ngaruawahia, while the other relegation threatened side Albany, face an even tougher trip across town to play Papatoetoe. Albany are a point ahead of North Force and have one match remaining after this weekend's fixture.

The Whangarei match is set down for Tikipunga Park but may be transferred to Kamo, depending on a ground inspection by Whangarei District Council staff.
