Maldon Town boss Colin Wallington says he will have no trouble firing up his troops for tomorrow's must-win clash against Barking and East Ham United.

The Park Drive supremo has led his charges to ten wins out of ten.

As a result, the mood in the squad is as buoyant as their current position in the league table (fifth) and Wallington will be looking to preserve both tomorrow.

He will be aiming to extend their winning streak to 11 games in a real 'six-pointer' of a match.

Barking are just four points ahead of Maldon and currently sit one place up from them in fourth.

Victory at Park Drive would inch Town closer to securing a play-off berth, but Wallington knows his team will have to maintain their recent form to win.

He said: "Fisher, at the top of the table, are a different class.

"East Thurrock, Uxbridge, Barton and Barking are all top sides and we are going to have to go some to make it into the top six of this table.

"But I'm going to put out the best we've got in the squad at Barking tomorrow and I'm confident we can keep that run of wins going."
