Cambridge's: London Nigerians (away, March 12), Old Albanians (home, April 2), Canterbury (away, April 9), Basingstoke (home, April 23).

It should go to the wire. Canterbury will come to Worthing tipped off about them by Cambridge from a fortnight earlier but the Kent side crashed to a shock 33-0 defeat at Richmond on Saturday.

First place is automatic promotion. Runners-up means playing off against South West 1 runners-up.

Worthing's Sussex Trophy defending quarter-final at two-divisions-below Brighton was in doubt this week. Brighton must first play their postponed league game at Folkestone on Saturday.
