DK are celebrating after victory over third placed "Dees" guaranteed them second position and at least a play off spot as they push for promotion back to National Division Three Dudley-K's 25-14 win over Dunstblains in front of a big Heathbrook crowd now means they can not be caught with only two games to go in their bid to get out of Midlands Division One.

Although they are certain to finish second they still remain in contention for the league title.

D-K will fancy their chances of picking up victories away at Scunthorpe and at home to relegated local rivals Walsall while Luton face Peterborough at home before facing a difficult last game away at Luctonians.

Press officer Peter Stinton said: "The win against the Dees means we have at least reached one target but we don't want to stop there.

"We have got a guaranteed playoff shot most likely away to Beverley , but we still have a chance of winning this league and that is what we will be aiming for.

"If we can win our remaining games hopefully Luton will slip up and I'm sure they will not be fancying their last day trip to Luctonians.

"Everything is certainly now in the melting pot."

Peter also confirmed inspirational captain Peter Knight may be set for a remarkable comeback for the exciting run-in.

It was feared the skipper could be sidelined until next season after dislocating his knee cap, but closer examination has discovered no ligament damage so an unexpected April return could be on the cards.

D-K's victory over Dunstablians came courtesy of tries from the returning Simon Fletcher, Dan Chesham and James Bullock, with Andy McLellan succesfully kicking three conversions and one penalty.

Peter added: "It wasn't our best performance but we got the result we were after and looking back we should have won by more."

"We have now won three on the trot so hopefully we are now hitting form just at the right time."

DK have no league game this weekend but coach Mark Wilson is hoping to arrange a fixture to maintain their momentum. Their next league fixture is against Scunthorpe (away) on Saturday March 31 (kick-off 3pm).
