The three cup games saw the Rams tumble out of the Kent and Surrey Cups whilst they progressed in the FA Vase. Last Saturday's defeat at Tunbridge Wells is a game they will want to forget after a dismal performance but things were much improved on Tuesday but they still fell to a penalty shoot-out defeat.

League points are now on offer. The Rams sit in 12th place although they have games in hand against all but one of the teams above them. They have suffered three successive away defeats so will be keen to get back to winning ways over 17th placed Hollands & Blair. They have won only one of their six home league games and managed 6 points from their 10 games.

There is a full programme of league games this Saturday. Leaders Beckenham Town travel to 7th placed Deal Town; 2nd placed Fisher are at 8th placed Cray Valley PM; Corinthian in 3rd, are at home to bottom of the table and still pointless Croydon; Chatham Town (4th) are at home to Tunbridge Wells (18th); Sheppey United (5th) entertain 6th placed Bearsted; Canterbury City (9th) are at home to Erith Town (16th); 10th placed Crowborough Athletic are at home to 11th placed Lordswood; Glebe (13th) play host to Punjab United and Rusthall who are in 19th place are at home K Sports (14th).

Matchday is expected to be dry although temperatures will only rise to 8 or 9 degrees so you may have to wrap up warm.
