Testing weekend for John Coventry's East Thurrock (From Thurrock Gazette)

Play off chances improving for Rocks

EAST Thurrock United have steadily improved their play-off chances over the past week or so.

And they will hope to carry on the good work that has seen them win three consecutive games over the next five days. Key has been the return to scoring form of the divisional top scorer Sam Higgins (with 26 goals in the bag).

Tomorrow, John Coventry’s men host Potters Bar Town before travelling to relegation-threatened Ware on Tuesday.

Apart from the Tilbury v leaders Lowestoft clash, fifth-placed Enfield Town were also in action last night at home to a Brentwood side still basking in the glory of Tuesday’s win at Lowestoft.

With Rocks lying fourth before these games, they will fancy their chances of moving up over the next few days — particularly with Enfield visiting a Concord Rangers team lying second.
