Midweek Football April

 

MONDAY 20th APRIL

Chessington & Hook 3-0 Bridon Ropes

TUESDAY 21st APRIL

Banstead Athletic v Rochester United

Greenways v Staplehurst Monarchs

WEDNESDAY 22nd APRIL

Chessington & Hook v AFC Greenwich Borough

 

The final midweek of the season is here – and somehow, there’s still plenty on the line at both ends.

It’s already kicked off with a twist. Chessington & Hook’s 3-0 win over Bridon Ropes on Monday night has lifted them off the bottom for the first time since Week 7. Goals from John Fouracre (32’), Tobe Uzor (50’) and Rushaar Samuel-Smikle (71’) have given them a real shot at avoiding last place – now taken by Welling Town.

Tuesday sees two fixtures that may not grab headlines, but still carry importance. Banstead Athletic host third-placed Rochester United, with the visitors looking to build momentum ahead of the play-offs. Banstead, now safe, can play with a bit of freedom – which often makes them awkward opponents.

Over at Greenways, Staplehurst Monarchs are the visitors in a clash of two sides finishing the season strongly. There’s no promotion or relegation pressure here, but pride and final league positions are still very much up for grabs.

Then comes Wednesday – and this is the big one.

Chessington & Hook go again, this time hosting title-chasing AFC Greenwich Borough. For the hosts, it’s a huge opportunity. Win, and they confirm they won’t finish bottom – which, in seasons like this, can matter more than it sounds.

For Greenwich Borough, the stakes are even higher. Victory would take them to the top of the table with just one game remaining. It’s the kind of moment title contenders have to seize – but with Chessy suddenly showing fight, this is far from a formality.

So, one final midweek push.
Top of the table. Bottom of the table.
Still plenty to be decided.
