Two sides separated by just three points meet at Baypoint Sports Club, Sandwich Town are unbeaten in the league to date and a win could see them in the top two by the end of the day.

Thanet Athletic vs Prince Albert – Jacky Bakers 10.30am
Two sides near the foot of the table meet and a win for either team will push them right up the table in what is a tight division.

Prince Albert had a big win last weekend as they won their first match in four games, they defeated their opponents 3-1 in the Chris Sear Memorial Shield last month and share the goals amongst the team with no less than thirteen different players scoring so far.
