The Crows, in third place, take on the Rams who occupy eleventh place in the SCEFL Premier Division table, as they look to gain another three points towards the target of promotion and to chase down the leaders Sevenoaks Town and second placed Whitstable Town.
Both the Oaks and the Oystermen have mid-week games, Whitstable Town are at home on 16/04/18 against Rochester United and the Oaks travel to Lordswood FC on 18/04/18, so this match is sandwiched between the two, which means by the time our game is played, we could be six points behind the Oystermen, level on games and the goal difference wiped out.
Of course, that's if the result from the Whitstable Town v Rochester United follows the form guide but whatever happens, the Crows must make sure they do their bit and get the three points. Depending on our result at the end and the result of the Lordswood v Sevenoaks Town game, the table may look different again.
The Rams have four games left after playing us as they play Chatham Town at home on 21/04/18, then travel to play Whitstable Town on 23/04/18 before playing at home again on 25/04/18 against Rusthall FC, then they play away at Deal Town on 28/04/18, their last game of the season.
The Rams may be slightly disappointed with their season so far as many expected them to be higher in the table however, results have been rather inconsistent during their thirty-three games so far. Fourteen wins, seven draws and twelve defeats have gained them forty-nine points and they've scored fifty-one goals but conceded fifty-eight therefore, have a minus-seven goal difference.
No game against the Rams is easy though and the Crows will have to be at their best to get the three points. Admission is £8 adults, £4 concessions, U16's £1 - FREE if accompanied by a paying adult. A 16-page, full-colour programme is £1. Turnstiles open at 6:30pm and the Top Nosh Tea Bar and the Crow Arms will be open inside the stadium at the same time.
We look forward to seeing as many of you as possible to support the squad in their next important game.
