Great Wakering Rovers will tonight hope to add to their New Year's Day triumph at highly-placed Dunstable in their bid to move clear of the bottom three in Ryman Division One North.

That bright start to 2004 was only the second win on visiting territory this season for the village side who currently stand four points behind fourth-from-bottom Tilbury from three games more.

Tonight's hosts are a Boreham Wood side who, although down in sixth place, have games in hand on four of the five teams above them and could yet easily become involved in the promotion race.

Wakering gave a number of first team regulars a rest on Saturday when they lost 3-1 at Harlow in the Bryco Cup third round.

But those players are expected to return for tonight's match in Hertfordshire.
