WESSEX TeamBath will be hoping to strengthen their grip on top spot in National Volleyball League Division One when they travel to Ashcombe & Dorking on Sunday.
The South West outfit's title hopes were given a huge boost last weekend when nearest rivals Warwick Riga suffered a shock 3-1 home defeat at the hands of City of Wolverhampton.
Wessex now hold two games in hand on Riga and know one more win and an extra set in their remaining fixtures should be enough to lift the championship due to their superior sets difference.
This weekend's match at the National Volleyball Centre in Surrey is expected to be a tough encounter for Wessex despite Ashcombe's lowly position in the table.
Ian Loke's side will again be without several international players who have yet to return home from Australia but they still should have enough quality to see off their second-bottom opponents.
Helen Brown will lead the side in the outside attack position with Henri Creasy.

The starting line up will be completed by Katja Gless who will assume the other opposite attack role.

Sunday in the run up to the Beijing Games.
