Mason has endured a generally frustrating time of it so far this season, featuring only once as a substitute in the Premier League. His chances have been limited, but Mason has made a couple of appearances in Cup competitions, a sequence he hopes will continue when Welton travel to North Scarle.
Mason is determined to demonstrate his worth to Social Manager Al Taylor, and views the contest against the division 2 side as the ideal opportunity to show he can offer something to the team after being promised game time after running the line in tricky conditions at Ivy Tavern last weekend.
"It has been a mixed season for me so far," Mason said. " I haven't had as many chances as I would have liked, but at the end of the day it's down to me to keep working hard every day in training and show the manager I deserve a chance when the time comes.
"I have to look at the positive side of things. The boss has put me on the bench for every Premier League game so far and I have played in the Cup games, so I can't complain about that.
"I've got to do everything I can in training to show the boss I am ready if he needs me to play against North Scarle.
"If I do get the chance to play it will be a massive game for me.
"They have a lot of six-foot plus lads in their team and it's a chance for me to show that I can be put up against anyone, of stature and size, whoever, and do a good job for the team."
Welton have a full squad available this weekend as Luke Clifford has overcome an Egyptian stomach complaint.
Taylor has vowed to field a "very strong" line-up but is expected to make a number of changes from Sunday’s 4-3 win at Ivy Tavern.
Sam Allmond will be hoping to keep his place having scored again against Ivy, while Billy Munro and Jason Tinkler made second half appearances as substitutes in that fixture and could be amongst those coming into the team.
"We take it seriously and we'll be going to try to get a result," said Taylor, whose side have never played North Scarle before.
"It's our trophy - and we'd love to win it back and we will be fielding a side that is capable of getting the job done at the weekend and we won’t be taking anything for granted."
"We are fortunate enough to be in a position that if we want to hange last weekends starting eleven we can bring in the likes of Luke Clifford, Billy Munro and Jason Tinkler amongst others."
"It gives me a headache picking the team and keeping everyone happy but it's a great problem to have.
