Sittingbourne boss Gary Abbott says three points tomorrow (Saturday) are a must if they are to keep up with the Ryman League, Division 1 South promotion pace.

The Brickies lost their third straight game on Tuesday, having two men sent-off at Burgess Hill. Nick Reeves had equalised for the visitors in the second half.

They have dropped to seventh but face struggling Whyteleafe at Bourne Park on Saturday with Leafe having lost 6-1 to Bognor in the FA Trophy in midweek.

Abbott (pictured) said: "We have to get three points. We have a big month coming up and have got to win to stay in there."

Abbott is waiting to discover the length of bans due to Sam Collins and Joe Horlock after their red cards in the 3-1 defeat at Burgess Hil . Abbott said:
"We couldn’t take our chances and gave them goals"

Laurence Harvey is set to return after a groin strain with Dan Palfrey missing out, despite an encouraging debut, while Tom Bradbrook should return if he avoids jet-lag after a working trip to America.
