Trio of big games
Two teams with title hopes meet on Friday night as Sheffield Arrows host Myerscough.
Both teams will know that the top of Pool A is well within their grasp with a few more positive results, but a loss would be costly given how tight the standings are right now.
BCU can move back into top spot if they can see off a visit from Sheffield Sharks II, and Liverpool will be hoping beat a Leicester Warriors team that have lost five in a row.
One and done in Pool B
Pool B sports just the single fixture this weekend, but it is one with plenty on the line as Barnet can grab a share of top spot once again if they can beat London Lions II.
Barnet's reigning Player of the Week Sable Cooper will be hoping to keep his own momentum going after dropping 36 points in the win against London Stars, and the Lions will be aiming to beat their middling form after going 2-3 in their last five.
