Sheppey United set to face Three Bridges at Holm Park and Ashford United away over the Easter weekend after defeat on Saturday to Haywards Heath

Sheppey United's play-off hopes took a blow at the weekend but they remain in the hunt ahead of a busy Easter period.

A 2-1 defeat at lowly Haywards Heath came just a week after thumping high-flying Beckenham 5-1 - a result which earned Sheppey the Isthmian South East 'performance of the month' award.

Jack Midson's men host Three Bridges on Saturday before playing the team standing inbetween themselves and the play-off positions, Ashford United, on Easter Monday.

Sheppey are four points adrift of the play-offs with four games remaining.

Midson said: "We didn't want the season to fizzle out before April, we have achieved that, we still have a lot to play for. It's still do-able mathematically so we have to give everything until it's not possible.

"Hopefully we can have something to play for right up to the end, if it doesn't happen, it doesn't happen.

"Three Bridges are a team we haven't played that long ago and we owe them one. That will be a tough one, they did a good job on us, we were naive against them.

"We give 100% anyway but I think with a bit of video analysis, look at a few things on Thursday and hopefully the lads will learn from those experiences and put it right in the next few games.

"If we can pick up a couple of wins then we can go into the last match against Cray Valley where it could be between them and us (for the play-offs) but what a situation to be in. We can't complain, we have to be happy."

Midson was named Isthmian South East manager-of-the-month for March after four straight wins. That flurry of success came as Sheppey bounced back from a 4-1 loss to Three Bridges at the end of February.

They now have to respond to the disappointment of losing at Haywards Heath.
