Chertsey and Bedfont battle for supremacy...

By Ian Townsend

...whilst Stoke and the Geordies try to ensure their play off spots. It’s our Pitching In Isthmian South Central preview.


Our big match today sees second place Chertsey Town and third place Bedfont Sports battle it out. Both are sure of a play off spot, but a win for the hosts would not just guarantee home advantage in the Semi-Final but, if they were to reach it, the Final too; whilst a win for Sports would put them in pole position on goal difference. Both sides are in fine form, the Curfews with seven wins from eight, Sports six from seven- and with an uncanny knack of scoring late goals. This one won’t be over until it's over!

Basingstoke Town know that a win will guarantee their play off spot, but with a four point gap between themselves and sixth place Uxbridge they are nearly there. Stoke welcome Binfield this afternoon, whilst fifth place Hanwell Town are off to take on the Tangerines of Ashford Town. The Geordies have a three point advantage over Uxbridge and a much better goal difference, so a win today would seal their spot in the end of season finale.

Uxbridge welcome Chalfont St Peter, the Saints looking towards either a reprieve or end of season relegation play off, whilst Marlow, who need to win both of their games and see Uxbridge and Hanwell lose both of theirs, welcome Thatcham Town.

Champions Bracknell Town welcome Westfield and will surely only be thwarted from reaching one hundred points by the absence of Whyteleafe from the table, but will still want to reach ninety eight. Chipstead welcome Sutton Common Rovers, the Chips eight games unbeaten, whilst Guernsey entertain South Park at 2 PM.

If you’re off to Tooting & Mitcham United v Staines Town,m remember that one starts at 1245.
