Tilbury may find it difficult to maintain their Ryman Division One North improvement tomorrow.

The Dockers moved up to fifth from bottom last weekend with a 4-1 success at struggling Enfield, but are likely to find tomorrow's visitors, Chesham United, a more difficult nut to crack.

Chesham have moved into a top half position in recent weeks and have scored 56 goals this season. That feat is only beaten by leading duo Cheshunt and Yeading.

Aveley will be boosted by their midweek Essex Senior Cup quarter-final penalty shoot-out success over East Thurrock.

Tomorrow they visit an Arlesey Town side who put Premier giants Hayes out of the FA Trophy a couple of weeks ago and continued in good form with a 5-0 thrashing of Yeading last week.
