Russell’s Rooks go into their penultimate game of the 46-match league season still with a chance of reaching the play-offs.

If they win both they will finish on 74 points – but they would still need the two sides immediately above to drop points.

At present it’s Russell’s old side Cray Wanderers who occupy fifth, the final play-off spot, with 70 points – two more than Lewes.

They are at home to Kingstonian tomorrow and away to Haringey on the final day.

They have 69 points – one more than Lewes – and finish their fixtures by playing two of the top four.

They’re away to leaders Bishop’s Stortford tomorrow and at home to fourth-placed Aveley a week later.

Things are less exciting for Scott Booth’s Lewes Women in the Championship but they have four games left between now and the end of the month and can still finish in top half.
