The Trawlerboys have two away games in the space of four days in the week ahead as they look to spring into step and bounce back from three successive defeats.

And as the Pitching In Isthmian League North Division battle for promotion, play-offs and relegation places intensifies it is all to play for.

After two successive home wins last month, The Trawlerboys suffered consecutive defeats from the last two home matches in the past week.

The eagerly awaited clash with the Beach Boys saw Concord Rangers soar to a 1-3 victory at Crown Meadow last Saturday.

The Canvey Island based side led 0-1 at the interval and doubled the advantage in the 74th minute, before Mitch Belmar reduced the arrears with an in-swinging free kick that eluded everyone to nestle in at the far post.

This gave Lowestoft renewed belief and Aaron Bullent was denied by the keeper before 11th placed Concord hit a late third.

The rescheduled match with 15th placed Walthamstow at Crown Meadow on Tuesday, March 3 saw the Trawlerboys have two penalty appeals waved away in either half before Connor Deeks was sent off in the 73rd minute.

A first half hat trick from Garzon - including a 28th minute penalty - was followed by a 49th minute fourth for the visitors, who moved eight points ahead of Lowestoft with the win.

The defeats have seen Lowestoft slip to 18th place in the league table, with Takeley, in 19th, now just two points behind with two games in hand.

With 10 league matches now remaining, Lowestoft are due to play five games in 21 days over the rest of this month.

It starts with an away trip to fourth placed Bowers & Pitsea tomorrow (March 7) ahead of another Essex visit with the rescheduled game away at 10th placed Witham Town on Tuesday, March 10.

Lowestoft then host The Jockeys of Newmarket Town on Saturday, March 14, before visiting bottom of the table Brantham Athletic on March 21.

The month ends with a quick return match and a trip to Walthamstow on Saturday, March 28.
