On Tuesday 22nd March, we welcome AFC Sudbury to Park Lane as we both compete in the Pitching In Isthmian North Division, kick-off 19:45.
We come into this match on the back of a 2-1 defeat away to Coggeshall Town on Saturday. On the same day, AFC Sudbury suffered a 3-1 defeat away to Tilbury. As a result, we find ourselves in 2nd position with just 7 games left, and 2 points behind league leaders, Aveley. AFC Sudbury currently occupy 10th position and are just 5 points off the playoff places. This is going to be a nail biting end to the season, with everything still to play for.
There's a familiar face within the AFC Sudbury set up in the form of Canvey legend, Danny Potter. We very much look forward to giving him a warm welcome to Park Lane.
The last time ourselves and AFC Sudbury met was back in January, when we triumphed 3-0 at their place. We are expecting a cracking match as we both aim for promotion.
We would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone associated with AFC Sudbury a safe journey and an enjoyable evening at Park Lane. We would also like to take this opportunity to thank the Yellow Army for their superb support, it's much appreciated.
