U’s above drop zone on goal difference
Only goal difference is keeping fourth-bottom United above the three Ryman Football League Division One South relegation places after third-bottom Ramsgate drew 0-0 at home to Guernsey in their game in hand last night (Tuesday).
Fifth-bottom East Grinstead Town are also battling to avoid falling into the drop zone. The Wasps are one point ahead of United with a vastly inferior goal difference.

United’s two remaining matches are at home to second-placed Faversham Town on Saturday (when the club is offering free admission) and away to Walton & Hersham on Saturday April 25.
