Last Chance Wednesday

We have some live football for you tonight, and if you're a fan of watching our beautiful game played the way that it should be, then one of these matches might just be right for you.

In the FA Trophy, we have two matches involving four of our teams- at Bishop's Stortford and Merstham.

Stortford entertained the nation with some televised cup heroics last Monday, and are still unbeaten in all competitions this season. The Blues host another set of Blues, Brentwood Town, who they played as recently as October 3rd in the FA Cup. On that occasion the Stortford boys won one-nil, but that was one of only two matches Town have lost this season so they will be no pushovers. The winners travel to Haringey Borough.

Merstham will be desperate for a victory as they host Carshalton Athletic- particularly after their humbling at Cray last week. The Moatsiders have picked up only one point from their last five league matches and departed the FA Cup at first time of asking, but will be buoyed by this fact- their opponents have been superb at home but a different side on their travels, losing their last three away matches. The Robins did, however, defeat their hosts at the very same stage of the Trophy last season.

The winners will host Barking in the next round.

In the Pitching In Isthmian Premier Division, Kingstonian host Haringey Borough. The visitors defeated Faversham Town in the FA Trophy at the weekend to end a run of three consecutive defeats in all competitions. They won on their last visit to King George's Field, but on that occasion, back in September, they were facing the K's landlords, Corinthian-Casuals. The K's have had a hit and miss campaign so far, and lost both of their last two matches by three goals to two; but both of those were away from home, and they've been a different side altogether on their own patch, winning four of their five fixtures.

The sides met only once last season, the K's scoring the only goal of the match at Coles Park.

The North Division sees AFC Sudbury host Heybridge Swifts. Both sides have been on the up of late, the Yellows starting the day in third place whilst Swifts are eighth- but only two points behind. The hosts have two wins and two draws from their last four league matches, the wins coming from the last two, whilst Swifts have won four of their last six in all competitions, the two defeats in that sequence seeing them lose by a single goal. Victory or a draw for Sudbury would see them go into the lockdown in second place, whilst a Swifts win would send them second, too- whilst a draw might lift them into the top five.
