GRAYS Athletic, who returned to winning ways with a thrilling 4-3 win against Downham last weekend, face a daunting trip in the Isthmian North today. 

The Blues travel to promotion-chasing Maldon & Tiptree who sit second in the table. 

The Jammers' near neighbours Heybridge Swifts make the trip in the opposite direction and face Tilbury at Chadfields. 

It presents an opportunity for the 16th-placed Dockers to build momentum as their visitors are struggling, sitting third from bottom. 

Jason Maher recently joined Swifts as their third manager in a turbulent season and has  introduced several new faces to the squad.

East Thurrock Community FC are without a match today. Aveley were in action last night, drawing 3-3 with Billericay.
