Harlow Town host Heybridge Swifts in a Ryman League Division One North match.

David Cowley and Billy Jones could both feature, having finished their three match bans for red cards picked up over the Christmas period, however the Hawks will be without Sam Holloway for the rest of the season following his horrific injury suffered against Thurrock in the last outing

The Hawks visited Heybridge back in October, coming away with a 2-4 away win. However the Heybridge side faced then are a completely different team to the current squad. They’ve seen wholesale player changes, and a new management team have also come in.

Heybridge were languishing in the relegation zone earlier on in the season, but a good run of form has seen them climb up the table in recent weeks. In their last 6 matches they have won three, drawn one and lost two, so they are currently in 18th place with 31 points from 28 games.

The Hawks currently top the table, with 73 points from 32 games. Needham Market are close behind, just three points behind, now with two games in hand. Harlow’s 15 points from 18 games puts them second in the form table, winning the previous five games before last week’s loss to Thurrock.

Despite a flurry of snow on Friday, the weather outlook for Saturday is clearer so there shouldn’t be any issues that threaten the game going ahead.

Kick off is at 3:00pm, on Saturday 31st January 2015.
