GREAT Wakering Rovers resume their Essex Senior League season against Hullbridge Sports on Tuesday night.
Wakering were beaten 1-0 at Worcester City in the first leg of their FA semi-final on Saturday.
And Marcus Bowers' side now face two league games before this weekend's second leg, starting with this evening's local derby at Burroughs Park.
Wakering's Vase run has left them with a backlog of league fixtures and they now have six games in hand on Hullbridge.
Wakering sit 11th in the standings, one place and one point below Sports who suffered a shock 1-0 defeat at struggling Frenford on Saturday.
Rovers are also in action on Thursday night as they head to 17th placed Buckhurst Hill looking to work their way back into contention for a place in the play-offs.
Elsewhere, Concord Rangers must win at Whitehawk to keep their slight survival hopes alive in the Isthmian Premier Division.
The Beach Boys are currently bottom of the standings and are 18 points behind Cheshunt, who sit just above the drop zone, with six games to go.
Canvey Island, who are 17th, host 12th placed Lewes
