Corinthian-Casuals and Cray Wanderers meet at Met Police, Bedfont Sports welcome Westfield, and we've two matches in the Velocity Trophy


In the Pitching In Isthmian Premier Corinthian-Casuals are back in action, but still unable to play at their own King George's Field due to the tree that crashed down on their clubhouse from the railway embankment, so are off to Imber Court, home of Pitching In Southern Premier Met Police.

Casuals have lost their last five in all competitions and are without a win of any kind since the opening day, so will be desperate to pick up three points. Visitors Cray Wanderers are also looking to bounce back after a poor run, in their case only one point from their last three matches- results which have seen them slip to tenth.

Last season Cauals won their hime fixture against the Wands four-nil- and made it six points from six by winning the return match, too.

Bedfont Sports welcome Westfield to the end of the runway in Pitching In Isthmian South Central, looking for only their second win of the season. Sports have had a campaign to forget so far, only a three-nil win over Sutton Common Rovers on September 21st lifting the gloom; whilst the Woking side have been inconsistent, very good at the start of the season- four successive wins in all competitions- but have only one win in their seven games since. A win would see Westfield climb to seventh, whilst if Sports find form they could go above their visitors, perhaps as high as eleventh.

In the Velocity Trophy Tilbury have a speedy opportunity for revenge over neighbours Grays Athletic as they meet again, this time at Parkside, only a few days after Athletic won their first league encounter of the season by two goals to nil. Cup heroes Sevenoaks Town are also back at home, welcoming Tooting & Mitcham United. Oaks are unbeaten in all cup competitions this season, through to the Fourth Qualifying Round of the FA Cup and the Third Qualifying Round of the FA Trophy.
