Enfield are currently top of the Essex Senior League table and with a five point gap to Redbridge must be considered favourites for the title. However, with eight games to play I'm sure manager Jamie Cureton is keeping his squad focused on taking each game as it comes. 

It's a hugely busy final few weeks of the season especially for the current top two as you'll see from the below fixtures with Enfield v Redbridge scheduled for Thursday 20th April which is the last but one game of the season.

18. SAWBRIDGEWORTH TOWN 33 -36 28 LLWLLL 43

* deducted 3 points for playing ineligible player

At the bottom of the table Southend Manor's fate is confirmed and they will be playing Step Six football next season. Clapton look set to follow them barring a remarkable turn of form - The Tons ended a run of fourteen games without a win on Saturday with a narrow 1-0 win over their relegation rival's Southend Manor! 

They host Athletic Newham tonight in a ground share derby game. 

With Clapton Community FC sitting top of the Middlesex County League the possibility of a Clapton v Clapton game at Step Six next season is looking likely.
