Harwich, meanwhile, are third and well positioned for a play-off place at the end of the campaign. They still sit 22 points behind Haverhill Rovers, who can be confirmed as league champions in the next couple of weeks.

Harwich contain ex-Blues player Gareth Heath in their squad, with the midfielder playing just under 350 games in all competitions for Leiston between 2010 and 2017. Another former Blue, Louie Bloom also plays for Harwich & Parkeston.
