Tilbury's recent revival will be put to the test at Arlesey.

Dockers had seemed on their way to a slump when losing four on the trot in the run-up to Christmas, but a win at Great Wakering was followed by a comfortable defeat of another bottom-half-of-the-table side Barton.

Tomorrow's Bedfordshire-based opponents present a different challenge having lost just the once at home and in midweek hit six past basement side Hertford.

Tilbury will look to the blossoming striking partnership of Jean Marie Okita and Jermaine Dominique to keep them among the top ten.

Aveley warmed up for their trip to Marlow by hitting six goals past Ilford's defence in an opening round Thameside Trophy tie.

The game marked the first two goals for Luke Bauckham since his switch from East Thurrock a couple of weeks ago and another for top-scorer Danny Curran who came off the bench to take his season's tally to a dozen.
