SUPPORTERS of three of the borough's non-League clubs face lengthy journeys today (Saturday, 5 February).

In the Isthmian Premier East Thurrock United travel to promotion-chasing Lewes on the south coast. The hosts at the famous Dripping Pan ground sit fourth, while the Rocks are seven points adrift of safety at the other end of the table and have also suffered the loss of loanee striker Alex Hernandez this week who has been recalled to parent club Concord Rangers - so it could be a tough afternoon for the borough side.

In the Isthmian North Aveley will be looking to cement their position at the top of the table with a home win against mid-table Bury Town. The Millers lead on goal difference, sharing the same points tally as Stowmarket who are at home to struggling Hullbridge so a win is likely to be need to keep Aveley flying highest.

Grays Athletic are in fourth spot currently and go to Felixstowe and Walton United who are also challenging near the top end.

Tilbury go to Dereham Town, who are fifth.
