Inverell Hawks travel to Armidale on Sunday to tackle competition leaders the Rams in a must win game as part of Round 16 action in the Group 19 Rugby League competition.
The Hawks are coming off a 2nd half fade out against the Warialda Wombats last week and know a loss on Sunday could see the team out of finals contention.
Meantime the Tingha Tigers, who are also in the same position as the Hawks trying to keep their finals aspirations alive, tackle the Walcha Roos on Sunday who are coming off their first win of the season.
The other game of the round sees reigning premiers the Narwan Eels play the Bingara Bullets who are trying to regain some winning form after losing their last three games
