AFC Hornchurch

AFC Hornchurch welcome Lowestoft Town in what will be our 6th competitive fixture against the Suffolk side.

Both sides have started their 2013/14 season well with Hornchurch currently lying in 7th place whilst Lowestoft are 1 place lower. Both sides have identical records having won 2, drawn 1 and lost 1. Lowestoft have beaten Thamesmead and Bognor Regis, drawn with Canvey Island and lost to Dulwich Hamlet. Hornchurch lost their opening fixture to Lewes but bounced back with victories at Margate and Cray Wanderers and then drew with Bury Town.

Hornchurch will still be without Martin Tuohy as he continues to recover from his knee injury but Phil Starkey and Carl Rook should feature with both having missed the Bury Town game following niggles picked up in the win at Cray. Sam Lechmere, signed from Billericay Town in the week will also be available. Tambeson Eyong serves his final game of a five match ban.
