The games come thick and fast and tomorrow we welcome familiar opponents in Hornchurch who have got off to a great start by winning their opening two fixtures (kickoff 7.45)

Having condemned Eastbourne Borough to their first defeat at home for 16 months on Saturday,  courtesy of an Angelo Balanta’s stoppage-time winner, the Urchins will provide their usual stiff opposition as we attempt to gain our first maximum haul before another tough challenge at Worthing on Saturday.

With back-to-back games over the Bank Holiday period to come, don’t be surprised if the management team rotate at some point over the next couple of weeks to use the improved squad to its full advantage.

“Hornchurch represents another hugely tough game,” said Gavin Macpherson. “They’ve signed really well and are a club who might quietly fancy their chances of being in the top part of the league come the end of the season.”

“We’re under no illusions how difficult it will be but I’ll be looking for a better performance than against Maidenhead  when we showed heart and desire but not enough quality. I’ll certainly be looking for more.”
