In the race for the Essex Senior League title it now looks as it's Witham Town's to lose as both Southend Manor and Enfield FC 1893 FC have dropped out of the race. As it stands Witham Town only need to win four more games to get to 75 points which is the maximum second placed Southend Manor can reach in their remaining six games. Realisticaly, with Manor's poor form of three defeats in their last four, the cold end would say just three more wins should do it for Witham Town whom have only lost one league game way back on Saturday 27th August 0-1 at home to Bethnal Green United.

Takeley have had a great run of form of late. After losing four of their opening ten games they have since lost only two of seventeen to safely sit in third place at present.

Last season's champions Enfield 1893 FC have dropped down the table as their website reports since the beginning of January they have unfortunately lost twelve of the their first team squad to season ending injuries. They have since been playing members of the Capital League reserve side with a view to building for a challenge next season. They have lost four of their last six league games which have included a rare win (only their third of the season) for bottom side Basildon United (2-3 on Tuesday 6th March).

This Saturday Witham Town welcome Clapton to Spa Road and Southend Manor go to Eton Manor.

In the League Cup both Burnham Ramblers and Takleley have qualified for the semi-final stage with Barking welcoming Sawbridgeworth Town tonight in a 2nd Leg quarter-final where Sawbo are 1-0 up from the 1st leg. Witham Town take 3-1 lead to a 2nd leg in Barkingside next week.

In The Gordon Brasted Memorial Trophy London APSA and Southend Manor are through to the semi-finals with Witham Town playing Bethnal Green United tonight and Hullbridge Sports facing Burnham Ramblers in the other quarter final.
