FC Inter Westgate vs Easy Scaff – Lymington Road Recreation Ground 10.30am
Easy Scaff come into this match in fine form having toppled the league leaders last weekend, a free scoring side that sees both Camron Haswell and Jamie Ridgeway on eight goals each.

Westgate Social Club vs Red Arrows – Jacky Bakers 10.30am
Red Arrows can return to the top of the table with a win coupled with defeat for Lesters, successive cup defeats will see them keen to get back to league action and will look towards Lukasz Olubek to continue his fine scoring form. Westgate can close in on the promotion places with a win and having lost out in the Kent Cup last week will want to get back to winning ways.
Westwood vs Macies – Jacky Bakers 10.30am
Macies could move into the promotion places with victory, unbeaten in all competitions since 15th September they will want to continue this fine form but will be without George Amber as he starts a three-match suspension.

Second Division
Thanet Athletic vs Shrimpos – Jacky Bakers 10.30am
These two teams meet just seven days after Shrimpos came from behind to win in the Kent Cup, this came at a cost as they have lost Justin Spinks for the next three matches due to suspension. Gareth Rushton has scored nine goals so far and Semon Murphy hit a hat trick last week against his former club. A win for Thanet Athletic could propel them up the table and will hope Cameron Escudier can continue his scoring form.
Sandwich Town vs Garden Bar – Baypoint Sports Club 10.30am
Game of the day in the division sees third play second, only one defeat between them this season so this promises to be a tight affair. Sandwich Town are unbeaten and have Reece Walker topping the scoring charts, Garden Bar have not lost since the opening day of the season but will be without Jasper Marsh who serves a one match ban following his dismissal last weekend.
Holman Carpentry vs The Vale – Bell Meadow Recreation Ground 10.30am
A win for either team would move them towards the promotion places, both lost in the Kent Cup last week so will want to get back to winning ways. The Vale will no doubt be looking to David Crane to continue his scoring form that sees him sat on nine goals this season, Holman Carpentry welcome Chris Clark back following his recent suspension and have both Samuel Boyton and Bailey Friend sat on three goals apiece.
