Southend Manor should have few problems giving their push for Schweppes Essex Senior League honours another boost tomorrow when they host bottom club Stansted.

Manor are currently in fourth position and could get an extra lift with victory on Saturday as second place Ilford have a tough game at a Brentwood side immediately below the Southend outfit.

Both Saffron Walden (at home to Woodford) and Burnham Ramblers (who entertain East Ham) are expected to pick-up three-point tallies.

Bowers United are reasonably placed with games in hand in mid-table and should prove too strong for Eton Manor at Crown Avenue.

Concord Rangers will be fancied for a three-point tally at Leyton, but Hullbridge could find life tough against the most-improved side this term - Sawbridgeworth - at Lower Road.
