Phoenix due to face Tunbridge Wells on Saturday
Phoenix travel to Tunbridge Wells on Saturday and will be keeping their fingers crossed that the rain stays away from the Culverden Stadium.
Remarkably, Tunbridge have not played a home league game since Saturday 1 November, with bad weather causing multiple postponements - including the original January clash with Phoenix.
Despite being unbeaten in nine matches, Phoenix head into Saturday’s fixture in need of a win, with five of their last six games ending in draws - four of them finishing 1-1.
Tunbridge have played just eight home league games all season, winning twice and losing six. They have won only once in their last eight matches - a 3-2 victory at bottom-placed Stansfeld.
When the two sides met earlier in the season, Phoenix fell to a 4-1 home defeat despite going in level at half-time. Lyle Della Verde was on target that night.
Phoenix sit seven points outside the play-off places and know it is now or never if they are to put together a run that could see them push for the top five.
To get to Culverden Stadium (home of Tunbridge Wells FC in the SCEFL), use SatNav with the postcode TN4 9SG, drive via the A21/London Road from the M25, or take a train to Tunbridge Wells station (a 1.5-mile walk or short taxi ride away), entering the ground via Culverden Down next to Bennett School.
Adults £10, Seniors £6, Juniors (U16) £3, U11s free with paying adult.
