Tuesday night sees no less than seven Berkshire-based sides compete in their respective leagues as Binfield test their title credentials at home to Basingstoke Town.
Hungerford Town sit at the foot of the Vanarama National League South and will be looking to build on their 1-1 draw with Chippenham Town – and recent good form – at the weekend.
Chelmsford City are the visitors to West Berkshire and currently sit inside the play-off places. The Crusaders will be eager to take advantage of their visitor’s poor form, Chelmsford have won only once in the last five.
A rearranged Step 4 fixture sees league leaders Basingstoke Town travel to Binfield in the Isthmian South Central League. The Moles, who sit sixth in the table just outside the play-off places will be looking to take advantage of one of three games in hand.
Their visitors however are in a rich vein of form and will look to secure all three points to further boost their promotion hopes.
Last week, Moles boss Garry Haylock said on the club website when asked about play-off dates: “Haylock said “It’s great that the playoff dates have come out, giving clubs the opportunity to plan.
“However, I am of the opinion that we are capable of winning the league and that’s where our focus will be.”
