PROMOTION-PUSHING Billericay will be hoping to defeat lowly Stanford le Hope to increase their hopes of playing Essex League Division One cricket next summer.

David Houghton's side are currently second in the table and locked in a three-way fight to go up with leaders Fives & Heronians and Belhus.

Fourth-placed Wickford travel to a Leigh on Sea team a place below them with both aiming to make up ground on the promotion race sides.

Sixth-placed Horndon could do Billericay a favour if they win their home game against Fives
