HARWICH and Parkeston are gearing up for tomorrow’s top-of-the-table showdown against Hatfield Peverel.

The third-placed Shrimpers entertain the unbeaten Essex and Suffolk Border League division one leaders in a 2.30pm kick-off at the Royal Oak.

Both Harwich and premier division neighbours Little Oakley were beaten by the wintry weather last Saturday.

Their games were called off and Oakley are now preparing for tomorrow’s trip to Earls Colne.
