The Spitfires will be aiming to make it back to back home triumphs following their 2-1 victory over Yeovil on Easter Monday. While there isn’t anything of note to play for, Richard Hill’s side will want to end what has been an underwhelming season on a high.
NATIONAL LEAGUE SOUTH:
AFC TOTTON: Sitting comfortbaly in 13th in their first ever season at step 2 level, Totton make the trip to Sussex to face already relegated Eastbourne Borough. A top half finish remains a real possibility for the Stags as they currently sit level on points with Dagenham & Redbridge.

SOUTHERN PREMIER LEAGUE SOUTH:
