Staplehurst Monarchs v Lewisham Borough

Just the one game in the First Division tonight, but it carries serious weight at the wrong end of the table.

Lewisham Borough know exactly what’s at stake — sitting in the bottom three, anything less than a win keeps them firmly in trouble. Victory at Staplehurst Monarchs, however, would drag them out of the relegation zone and put survival back in their own hands heading into the final stretch.

Staplehurst’s play-off hopes may have faded, but there’s still plenty to play for. A strong finish and a top-eight spot is the target now, and they’ll be looking to take advantage of a side under pressure.

Expect tension, nerves, and no shortage of effort — this one won’t be pretty, but it will be important.
