There will be two teams out to earn their Spurs at New Lodge tomorrow when Billericay Town and Braintree lock horns in continuing bids for a place in the play-offs for next season's new Nationwide Conference First Division.

For two great names from Tottenham Hotspur's past will be in charge of the sides in a game which has all the ingredients of a real humdinger.

Justin Edinburgh's success in leading his Billericay troops to a second half of the season revival of epic proportions is well documented.

Edinburgh's men having high hopes of escaping the bottom four by continuing a run which has seen them suffer just two defeats since Christmas.
