WOKINGHAM and Emmbrook will be hoping for some home comforts when they welcome Thame Rangers to Lowther Road on Saturday (2pm).
Sumas, who have moved up to sixth in the table after Henley Town’s Hellenic Division One East results were expunged, are on a poor run in the league.
Dan Bateman’s charges have lost five of their last six but they have only played five home league games so far.
Saturday’s visitors Thame are down in ninth but won the reverse fixture 1-0 in October.
Up in the Hellenic Premier, in-form BINFIELD are on the road with a trip to Brimscombe and Thrupp.
Just two points separate the sides with the winner securing a spot in the top six.
WOODLEY UNITED travel to Royal Wootton Bassett Town, seeking a first league win since October.
EVERSLEY AND CALIFORNIA will be looking to put recent defeats behind them and get back on track in Combined Counties Division One when they welcome Cobham to Fox Lane.

In rugby action, LONDON IRISH can put their Premiership struggles to one side as they travel to Edinburgh in the European Challenge Cup on Saturday.

REDINGENSIANS RAMS head to Canterbury while BRACKNELL and CROWTHORNE are also in action.
BRACKNELL BEES will bid farewell to the National Cup with a double-header against Telford Tigers.
Bees are bottom of their group and have lost each of their last seven matches in all competitions.
But Scott Spearing’s men will hope to go out with a bang, particularly at The Hive on Saturday evening.
