AFC have just seven games left in the regular season as they sit top of Ryman North, nine points clear of Thurrock on the same number of games and sixteen clear of Harlow Town who do have two games in hand.

Aveley is the next place that AFC travel to in the quest to gain automatic promotion. The opposition are currently in thirteenth place in the table with fifty-three points from thirty-seven games played. Their last fixture was on Monday when they defeated Bury Town 3-2 at The Mill Field in front of eighty spectators.

AFC Manager Jamie Godbold will have to do without both Captain Sam Clarke and James Baker as they sit out the first of their two match suspensions for accruing ten yellow cards.

Also missing will be young George Clarke who is suffering from a leg injury that needs a scan to find out exactly what is wrong with the limb.

Should defender Ben Robinson make an appearance in the game then he will notch up his century of games in a first team shirt.
