The showpiece at Sixfields next Thursday will mark the last action for both clubs before they head off into the summer.

And after they narrowly missed out on a play-off place in the Evo-Stik Southern League Premier Division, Law admits he is keen to finish the season with a flourish.

“We have got everyone coming in on Saturday and we will see how we are shaping up,” he said.

“Hopefully we can finish things off on a bit of a high.

“By then, AFC Diamonds will know where they are going to be (they play St Ives Town in the Division One Central play-off final on Monday) and both teams will have a real go at it.

“It’s healthy to have local rivalry and we all know the bragging rights are up for grabs.

“We will look forward to the game and I want us to try to end things on a good note.”
