Southend Sabres go in search of their first win of the American Football season when they travel to Maidstone Pumas.

The Sabres have yet to score after two games in the South East Division Two campaign but will hope to open their account as the Pumas take their bow in the competition.

And a battling defensive show against local rivals Essex Spartans last time out will offer some encouragement to the seaside squad.

Spartans themselves are out of action this weekend, but travel to Sussex Thunder next weekend hoping to extend their two-match winning streak.
