Blues travel to Maldon & Tiptree on Tuesday evening in another interesting fixture in their quest to progress into the play off places.
The Opposition
Maldon are locked on the same number of points as Blues but can boast a superior goal difference but crucially have played three games fewer so the importance of three points on the night could lead to an intriguing encounter. Maldon have registered 44 goals so far 22 of which have come from the league leading goalscorer Junior Ogedi-Uzokwe.
