Marvin Samuel's new look Harlow Town team are set to visit Enfield Town tomorrow night with the weather playing a part in if the game will go ahead. It'll be interesting to see if Brimsdown Rovers match versus Leverstock Green is played this afternoon at Goldsdown Road and to see how the pitch holds up. There is a full Ryman North league programme over three days this week starting today when Heybridge Swifts are due to play Brentwood Town. The Swifts will be confident following their local-derby Boxing Day victory at Maldon Town against a hard to break down/tough to beat (lost one game in seven since beginning of November with three clean sheets and conceded only seven goals) Brentwood side. Heybridge are good at Scraley Road so I can see this one either being a close victory for the home side or a score draw.
Harlow Town are having a terrible season as along with the financial problems reported at Barrows Farm the Hawks were knocked out of the FA Cup at Kingsbury London Tigers and find themselves cut adrift at the bottom of the table following their 10 point deduction. Club legend Marvin Samuels took over the hot-seat at the beginning of December and results have improved with one win and one draw in four matches. The 2-0 win versus Romford on the 12th December was only the club's third league victory this season. Samuels needs wins fast to close the gap on Leyton, Cheshunt, Ware and Redbridge at the bottom of the table as he attempts the impossible looking challenge of keeping the Hawks up. They are 13 points away from safety at the moment so as the experts say 'mathematically' it can be done. Samuels has brought in a number of new faces to the club since joining with Lionel Leonard and Toby Ajola making their debuts versus Ware on Boxing Day.
Harlow had several chances to win the game in the closing moments after the lights went back on against a Ware side who have run Lowestoft close in the past few weeks so it'll be another hard game for Enfield Town with the Hawks desperate for points.
In the pick of the other games strong at home East Thurrock United should beat poor travelling Concord Rangers at Rookery Hill, Lowestoft Town should comfortably beat Maldon Town at the Wallace Binder Stadium (they won 3-0 in the league cup a few weeks back)
The Potters Bar Town V Ilford and Romford V Redbridge games are close ones to call. I can see both being close with Romford just about beating Redbridge who are poor on the road and the game at The South Mimms Travel stadium will see Potters Bar gain their first home league victory since September, Adam Lee's team showed some fighting spirit coming back after going 3-0 down to Northwood on Boxing Day to loose narrowly 3-2 .
VCD will easily beat Leyton at Oakwood continuing their brilliant form with the Ware V Cheshunt game being close and maybe another draw. The game between W&F and Northwood is another good game with David Norman's team strong at home versus Northwood who have won 4 of their 8 away games, Another one that's too close to call.
Waltham Forest take on Thamesmead Town on Wednesday night at Cricklefields.
