Diss RFC play the most important game in their history on Saturday.
They take on Letchworth Garden City at Mackenders and a win would sees them promoted as Champions of London League 2 North.
They would then play at a higher level in the 2009/10 season than ever achieved by a previous Diss team.
A squad of 19 has been named, with final selection depending on late fitness tests to certain key players.
The coaching staff will be preparing their squad mindful of the away game at Letchworth, when they became one of only two sides to beat Diss in the league this season.
On that murky raw day in Novenber, Diss lost by just one point because they allowed the Letchworth pack to dominate in the early stages, and conceded far too many needless penalties.
