An injury-hit Braintree are desperate for a victory.
The ravaged Black and Ambers squad travel to Bury St Edmunds tomorrow and must return with the points in their efforts to avoid relegation from Powergen London League division three north east.
Braintree were without captain Darren Page and centre Kris Coote in last Saturday's 51-7 defeat against Eton Manor.
And, to make matters worse, injuries during the game to Ian Regan (hamstring) and Tom Chapman (back) have left coach Gary Coote with a difficult selection poroblem in getting 15 fit players ready for tomorrow's game.
Fellow strugglers Chelmsford lost on Saturday but both they and Eton Manor are still four points ahead of Braintree.
In division four north east, Colchester travel to King's Lynn to play West Norfolk for the second time in eight days.
This game was postponed from October when referee Nick White pulled a hamstring after 25 minutes and could not continue.
When the sides met last weekend, Colchester won 14-12 despite West Norfolk having the lion's share of possession in the second half.
