WITH relegation now confirmed, Aveley can shake off the pressure and enjoy their remaining matches in the Vanara National League South.

On Saturday (5 April) Millers travel to Slough Town, who sit in 18th place and are not safe from dropping into the relegation zone themselves yet.

There are five matches left in the Isthmian North of Grays Athletic and Tilbury.

Grays have enjoyed a purple patch, with six wins on the spin but they will be tested to the max at Brightlingsea regent on Saturday.

Regent have been in the promotion mix for much of the season and still harbour title hopes - although they are slim.

They currently sit fourth, nine points ahead of Tilbury, so the Dockers will hope their tenants can do them a favour.

However, they will also probably need to win all five of their own remaining chances to have a squeak of getting into fifth spot, currently occupied by Waltham abbey, eight points ahead of them.

Dockers' unlikely quest begins with a home match against Sporting Bengal United, whose survival in the division looks unlikely and their relegation could be confirmed with a defeat and 18th placed Wroxham getting a point.

East Thurrock Community FC travel to Sudbury Sports FC in their penultimate Essex and Suffolk Border League Premier Division match of the season.
