Eastbourne Town manager Ady Colwell believes this could be a defining weekend in their bid for survival.

Town are nine points above the last relegation spot occupied by Horsham YMCA and both clubs have crucial games against sides one place above them in the table.

Colwell's men go to Walton Casuals, who are immediately above them on goal difference in 17th spot, while YM are seven points adrift of Corinthian Casuals and safety.

Colwell said: "Even though there are still ten games to go, this could be the defining weekend for us in many ways.

"We have two big games coming up against Walton tomorrow and Ashford on Tuesday.

"Walton are alongside us so whoever wins will pull away from trouble with games running out.

"If YMCA do not win, they will find it very difficult to get out of trouble but if they do win, and we don't, then things could get a lot tighter again.

"This could be the weekend which we will reflect on later and say we took the chance to pull away or didn't."

Leading scorer Liam Baitup and Luke Denton are both ruled out with one-match bans but Mark Goodwin is fit.
