Hashtag United's recent victory over AFC Sudbury and subsequent 1-8 thrashing of relegation threatened Tilbury has put them in a strong position at the top of the table. The Tags have now won an incredible 19 league games in a row!! 

Their experienced Manager Jay Devereux will no doubt be keeping his squad's feet firmly on the ground and taking each game as it comes as nothing is certain yet with eight games left to play. 

Hashtag's next game is at Heybridge Swifts next Saturday who are pushing for play-off place but did lost at Gorleston yesterday - AFC Sudbury have two tough away trips coming up in a Suffolk Derby against Stowmarket Town on Tuesday evening before visiting New Salamis on Saturday. 

The North London side had a good 4-3 win over play-off chasing Felixstowe & Walton United this weekend.

In the race for the play-offs Lowestoft Town have a six point buffer between themselves and Felixstowe & Walton United. East Thurrock Utd's defeat to Stowmarket Town was a real six pointer with Luke Upson getting the winner in the 90th minute for the Suffolk side. Could they (11) along with New Salamis (9) and Brentwood Town (11) have lost too many games at this stage of the season to have a chance of getting in the play-off places? 

Felixstowe & Walton United's next three games come against Lowestoft Town (3rd), Grays Athletic (5th) and Hashtag United (1st).
