The Tags welcome the Blues in Pitching In Isthmian Premier- TONIGHT

Hashtag United, who got back to winning ways at Horsham on Saturday, will hope to climb up to seventh place in the table with victory over Billericay Town in an Essex derby.

The Len Salmon, home of Bowers & Pitsea, will play host, with kick off at 7.45 PM.

The Tags were- in the end- comfortable winners at Horsham, winning two-nil- finally picking up three points after five matches without victory. They've actually been marginally better on the road than at home this season, but their handicap has been a propensity to draw matches- indeed fifty percent of their league fixtures have ended level. They've only lost one of their six home fixtures- but they've also only got one in the wins column!

The travelling Blues don't have too far to travel, for once. Billericay slipped to fourth after a late, late defeat at Folkestone Invicta on Saturday, but know that if they win this evening they'll climb back to second place, and close the gap on leaders Hornchurch to a next-to-nothing-if-you-say-it-quickly nine points. That defeat on the Kent coast was their first away League defeat this season, and they'll be determined to avoid another.

We can find record of only one previous meeting between the sides, a one-nil win for the Blues over the- then Pitching In isthmian North- Tags in the Essex Cup Quarter Final in February last year.
