Aveley will resume their bid to secure and Isthmian Premier play-off place and make up ground on leaders Hornchurch when they travel to Margate on Saturday (17 March).

The Millers sit third while their Kent hosts are secure in midtable, safe from relegation but with very little to play for.

The match has been designated 'Ladies Day' by Margate and there will be free entry for all women, no matter which team they support! There will also be a raffle, and they will be raising money for The Loft, a local charity who provide furniture to people who just can't afford to adequately equip their homes.

In the Isthmian North there's a tasty-looking clash at Parkside where Grays will play host to third-placed Lowestoft. The visitors are third, 14 points behind leaders Hashtag United but they have been in decent form of late.

Grays have been inconsistent and will need to bounce back from last weekend's 1-0 defeat at Felixstowe as they attempt to rise from sixth, back into the promotion play-off zone.

East Thurrock United fans can wave at the Lowestoft fans on the way to and from their game. The Rocks, ten points behind that play-off spot and reshaping their side after a change of management, face Gorleston who play at Lowestoft's ground.

The Suffolk side were in the relegation battle for much of the first half of the season, but have now climbed to 15th and what looks to be a safe position.

Safety is very much on the minds of Tilbury, now under the command of former Rocks bosses Marc Harrison and Liam Wallace and spurred on by a 3-0 midweek win at Hullbridge, they will be looking to put one over on Heybridge Swifts.

The visitors had a great first half of the season, with fine cup runs and a regular spot in the play-off area but they have faltered a little since Christmas and their indifferent and inconsistent form means the Dockers may be catching them at just the right time.
