MONEYFIELDS can make it eight games unbeaten in the EVO-STIK South East tonight – and Taunton Town can do the same in the West division.
The pair lead the way at the top of their respective Step 4 divisions ahead of a busy night of action.
Moneyfields, playing in their first season following promotion, travel to former Conference outfit Hayes & Yeading United on the back of a 1-0 home win against Chalfont St Peter.
United will be in confident mood, however, after a 3-0 win on Saturday against Bedford Town. They sit tenth in the table.
Second-place AFC Dunstable play AFC Rushden & Diamonds tomorrow, meaning Hartley Wintney or Egham Town can leap-frog them in the table for 24 hours at least. The pair, who both sit on 15 points, are only separated by Hartley Wintney’s superior goal difference.
If they draw, then Beaconsfield Town could be in the second automatic promotion spot with a win at Thame United, likewise Ashford Town (Middx), who travel to Northwood.
Cambridge City, who are seventh, had a big 6-1 win against Egham Town at the weekend – they make the trip to Barton Rovers looking for another vital three points.
Uxbridge Town will hope to break into the play-0ff places should any of the sides above them drop points. They’re also on the road with an away date at winless Fleet Town.
The Hampshire club are one of three teams yet to taste victory this season. Aylesbury host Marlow, while rock-bottom Hanwell Town are away at Chalfont St Peter in search of a first point.
Taunton Town missed out on promotion from the South West last season but have started the new campaign well.
From their first seven games they’ve collected 19 points and can extend their lead at the summit with a win against lowly Yate Town.
Second-place Salisbury have scored 27 goals in their opening seven matches – they welcome fourth-place Swindon Supermarine to their Ray Mac home.
Bristol Manor Farm are third and level on points with Steve Claridge’s Whites ahead of their home clash with a Bishops Cleeve side without a point all season and bottom of the table.
Evesham United are off to Cirencester Town‘s new 3G pitch, while fifth-place AFC Totton have a home fixture with North Leigh.
Shortwood United boast the league’s top scorer Levi Cox – who has seven along with Salisbury’s Marvin Brooks – and they face Cinderford Town.
At the foot of the table, early strugglers Barnstaple Town and Paulton Rovers face-off, while Mangotsfield Town have a night off with schedules opponents Bideford facing an FA Cup replay with Step 6 Bodmin Town this week.
