Match Preview

Here's another fixture to whet the appetite. But then, with two thirds of our league games behind us and a realistic chance of a place in the play-offs at least, every match has become important.

It also seems that every game brings stiff opposition, in this case Tooting & Mitcham. Don't be misled by their 8th place in the table as a victory in this match will leave them with enough games in hand to overtake us.

And they've beaten us already this season, 2-1 at Imperial Fields not so long ago. They will be without Sol Patterson-Bohner who played in that game but who has picked up enough cards to have a two match ban. Ware have no suspensions at the moment.

There are strong winds and rain forecast for Saturday but barring a hurricane the match will go ahead thanks to the artificial surface. If you really can't make the game join Pete Hill from 3pm for live commentary of the match at https://www.spreaker.com/show/easthertsradio-90minutes.

Aside from the football the tea bar and clubroom will be open for food, drink and TV. The club shop will also be open before the game and at half time.

There is also of course our match day programme (£1.50 on the gate) with latest fixtures, results and tables for our youth and under-23 sides as well as a range of articles to keep you occupied over half time. Aiden's Astroturf article this week considers the benefit of continuity when it is common for both managers and players to move clubs at a rapid rate.

The under-17s receive Wingate & Finchley in a league game on Sunday. As yet I don't have a kick off time for that one. Entry is free and the club room and tea bar will be open throughout.
