Blues welcome Waltham Abbey to Parkside on Saturday for the last home league game of 2017 discounting the away/home fixture with Aveley on Boxing Day!

The Opposition
The Abbots sit just one place above Blues on the same number of points (32) but have a superior goal difference and three games in hand. Leading goalscorer for the Abbots is Shad Ngandu with eleven goals.

In The Past
The two clubs have met 14 times in all competitions ,Blues winning eight,with two draws and four defeats. The first meeting was on the 20th October 1984 in the Essex Senior Trophy second round Blues winning that encounter 3-1.

In the seven previous League meetings honours are even with three wins apiece and one draw. The latest league encounter was at Capershotts on the 26th August with Abbots winning 2-1. Blues went ahead with a first half goal from Kieran Bishop (25) but a poor second half showing allowed the hosts to claim the points with goals from Christian Assombalonga (53), and Darrell Russell (75).

Once again this looks to be a close encounter with both teams having lost only one of their last six matches ,victory for either could see them potentially move into play off contention.Blues could include new signing striker Bradley Sach in the squad.
