MATCH PREVIEW - ENFIELD TOWN V ROMFORD

Enfield Town host Romford at Theobalds Lane this Saturday in another all important Ryman Division One (North) match. It's eighth v ninth place with The Boro only losing one of their eight league matches so far. That defeat was on the opening day of the season against Harlow Town so they are now seven league games unbeaten with their last game being a 2-0 home defeat of Ilford on Tuesday night. Paul Clayton and Wola Adedoyin were their goalscorers.

Romford have also played two FA Cup games with a 3-2 win at home to Royston Town followed by a surprise 4-2 defeat at Essex Senior League side Southend Manor.

The Cold End sends a good luck message out to all the Ryman North sides still in FA Cup action with both Thamesmead Town and Maldon & Tiptree having trips to the seaside to look forward too. With the hot weather forecast their trips to Margate and Brighton will be brilliant occasions. The travelling fans of Blue Square North/South Nuneaton Town and Eastbourne Borough should make for bumper gates at Needham Market and Waltham Forest. Ryman Premier Bury Town should also bring a good number of fans to their game against Redbridge. 

Good luck also goes out to the three remaining Spartan South Midlands League sides in the competition. Dunstable Town host Chesham United, Oxhey Jets welcome Hendon and Hatfield Town go to Leighton Town.

Southend Manor, the only Essex Senior League side left, welcome Chertsey Town to the Essex coast. Manor, who are currently top of the ESL, will be looking to add The Curfews to their list of scalps so far this season.
