THURROCK will be looking to continue recent good form with a trip to fifth-placed Maldon in the London and South East Counties One Essex today (Saturday, 22 November).

The visitors are second in the table after their nail-biting win against Epping Upper Clapton last time out.

Thurrock seconds are also away, travelling to Wanstead Seconds in Essex One.

Also in Essex One, Pegasus Palmerians travel to Brentwood Seconds, hoping for points to lift themselves off the bottom of the table.

Stanford-le-Hope are scheduled to entertain Mavericks at the Rec in London and South East Counties One Essex, kick-off is at 2pm.

While the Stanford men's side have not had a lot of action lately, the thriving youth section continues to grow and recently hosted a joint session with Basildon RFC where youngsters aged from five to nine played in matches.

Stanford Under Eights show off their new kit, supplied by Winsolar/CPW Electrical Solutions.

In Essex Division Two Thames, who are third, travel to play table-topping Eton Manor Thirds.

Tomorrow, after heavy defeats in their last two matches, Thurrock T-Birds will be looking to get back to winning ways at home against North Bristol, who have ties with Bristol Bears, and sit two places below the T-Birds in seventh - kick-off is at 2:30pm on Sunday at Oakfield.

If you can't make it down to Oakfield here's the streaming link - http://youtu.be/l08JosNtOSU.

T-Birds continue to look for sponsorship and a message from their commercial team says: "Are you able to help us this week or any other week? Photographs will be taken with the team and players following the game and will be shared with messages of thanks to all donors/sponsors of our Match Day Ball (£100) and Player of the Match (£100) awards on our media channels.

"If you can help us in any way, please let us know by reply to this message or contact [email protected]."
