Blues, Deres and Golds

By Ian Townsend

We've three sides in action tonight- as Billericay Town finally play their FA Trophy Third Round match and Erith & Belvedere welcome Littlehampton Town

Billericay Town will finally get to play their repeatedly postponed FA Trophy tie against Wealdstone tonight, with the match having been moved to Billericay thanks to the Blues 3G pitch. Read more here.

Elsewhere, we've a match in Pitching In Isthmian South East, and it's important to two sides struggling at the wrong end of the table. Erith & Belvedere have been on a terrible run, having taken only three points- three draws- from the last thirty points available to them, form which has seen them drop into the bottom two. The Deres will be delighted to be playing a relegation rival rather than a promotion chaser, given they've conceded fifteen goals in three matches against Ramsgate, Sheppey United and Three Bridges- and that relegation rival is Littlehampton Town, who are two places and three points better off.

The Golds have been in slightly better form, with eight points- including two wins- from their last ten matches, and they were hit for six by Sheppey last week.

A win for the Deres would lift them out of the bottom two- it would have to be a rather hefty win to take them above tonight's opponents- whilst Town would climb as high as fourteenth with victory.

The two sides actually played each other in their opening match this season, the FA Cup Extra Preliminary Round- and the Deres won that one by six goals to nil, although only one of their four scorers that day remains with the club.
