It is make or break time for Maldon Town.
The Park Drive side are seventh in Ryman League division one north - on the cusp of the play-offs.
And, having lost to play-off hopefuls Enfield Town last week, they now face another team close to the top - third-placed Ware at home.
Boss Russell Tanner is hoping the end of their three game winning run does not mean the end of it for long.
He is backing his side, who were indebted to keeper Darren Gould last week for keeping the score down, to still make the play-offs.
He said: "We lost the game 1-0, which puts a dent in our play off ambition, but that said we still have 13 games left and I still believe we have the players to achieve our goal.
"Believe me, so much hard work and effort has been put in this season I will not see our chances go without a fight."
