Billericay head to Gidea Park & Romford this weekend determined to strengthen their grip on the promotion places.

David Houghton’s team toppled previous leaders Belhus with a 59-run win and now have new top dogs Fives & Heronians in their sights.

The Blunts Wall Road side trail Fives by nine points and will hope the leaders slip up at home to fourth-placed visitors Leigh-on-Sea tomorrow.

Leigh saw off Stanford-le-Hope by six wickets last Saturday and know victory would slash Fives’ 32-point lead over their visitors.

Wickford are fifth in the table and will hope to ensure seventh-placed Harlow Town remain below them in the table.

The Patmore Memorial Park team have their tails up following a 24-run win over Ardleigh Green and are 29 points clear of Harlow, who were promoted last summer.

Eighth-placed Horndon-on-the-Hill face a derby match at Stanford-le-Hope. The visitors have a comfortable 46-point cushion over their ninth-placed hosts, who desperately need a win to improve their chances of escaping the relegation zone.
