We have a double header of home league games coming up to complete the month of November, a month in which we've only played at Earlsmead!

Tomorrow afternoon we entertain East Thurrock United, and then on Monday evening Canvey Island will be our visitors.

Like ourselves, East Thurrock are still in the FA Trophy, having beaten Merthyr Town 4-2 on Saturday afternoon. Their reward is a tough looking home tie against Dover Athletic.

The Rocks currently lie in 20th place with 15 points from their 15 games following a disappointing run of league results - most recently losing 4-3 to Wingate & Finchley a fortnight ago.

Meanwhile, Canvey Island are just above us in the table with 23 points from their 16 games. However, they are the joint lowest scorers in the division, but equally have an excellent defensive record. Their league form is in good shape, and they'll come into the game having won their last three, all by a single goal against Hampton & Richmond Borough, Grays Athletic and most recently Metropolitan Police last weekend.

Kick off tomorrow is at 3.00pm, and on Monday it is at 7.45pm. Our usual admission prices of £10 adults, £5 senior citizens and students, and free for under 16s apply.
