BASILDON United will be aiming to give their fans an early Christmas present when Maldon & Tiptree visit tomorrow.

The Bees, who have slipped to seventh place in the standings, will play at the Ho Ho Stadium for the last time in 2018 this weekend.

As a result, the newly-promoted side will be looking to give their supporters something to cheer ahead of the festive period.

But Maldon will prove to be a tough nut to crack as they are in fine form.

The Jammers are fourth in the Isthmian North.
