l RUNDOWN: Canvey Island can only see tomorrow’s clash against Burgess Hill Town as a must win encounter after dropped points in their last two matches.

A draw against the Sussex team 11 days ago and defeat in their last home match against Folkestone Invicta has put added significance on tomorrow’s match-up with the 23rd placed Gulls now four points from safety.

Fifth from bottom Merstham's games in hand mean it is effectively a five point swing, while Canvey’s goal difference of minus 34 is also concerning.

Burgess Hill sit five points above the relegation zone, and boss Danny Heale may not even be at the game with an operation on his sinuses today.

l MANAGER’S VIEW: Gulls boss Danny Heale said: “It depends how the operation goes but I plan to be there unless the world is caving in.

“Leatherhead winning on Wednesday was not ideal but we have to try and win our games. We drew with Burgess Hill last time and I thought we edged it. We need to get over the line and we will be ready to go come kick-off.

“We have 11 games and I think we need five wins to stay up. It isn’t over until the fat lady sings.”

l TEAM NEWS: Frankie Merrifield is a doubt with his wife expecting a child, George Allen and Ryan Blackman are doubts.
