Southend aim to end their wretched home form with a win against visitors Havant tomorrow.

The Seasiders have lost their last three matches at Warner's Bridge and will be looking to pick up another victory in their bid to climb away from the depths of National Division Three South.

Kevin Harman's team are currently third from bottom, while Havant are sixth in the league standings.

Southend will be buoyed by their 25-16 success at Westcombe Park last weekend. However, winning on their travels has not been a problem for the Seasiders, who have now tasted victory on their last three away- days.

And the Seasiders will be keeping their fingers crossed that Simon Hoult is on form again, the kicker having notched 20 of his side's 25 points at Westcombe last weekend.

Second hosts third in London Four North East as Basildon face Westcliff at Gardiners Close.

And the new town side will be aiming to make it a hat-trick of wins against their visitors, having already beaten Westcliff at Aviation Way in the league, as well as in the Powergen Junior Vase.

The leaders, Rochford Hundred, who are three points ahead of Basildon, will be confident of another victory at home against Mersea Island.
