AFTER their cup exploits, Burnham have been left to concentrate on their push for promotion.

The Blues made good progress in the FA Trophy, only just missing out on a place in the first round proper, but are now playing catch up in the Southern League Division One Midlands.

However, despite the games in hand, they are not playing catch up too much in the points department.

They are ust three points off leaders Hitchin Town and level with local rivals Slough Town and Chesham United, who have played two and three games more respectively.

On Saturday Burnham host Sutton Coldfield Town and then on Tuesday, Rothwell Town, who are just one place behind in fourth, travel to The Gore.

"It would have been nice to have been in the Trophy but we can concentrate on the league now," admitted Jarvis.

"They are all tough games in this league but we will be looking to win them.

"Everybody has played more games than us and nobody, the likes of Slough and Chesham, have got away from us so that is important."

The Blues remain unbeaten in the league and will welcome back strikers Craig O'Connor and Dennis Fennemore into the squad as they were cup tied for Saturday's 2-1 defeat at Worcester City after their recent arrivals.

Dave Tilbury will also be back in contention after suspension.
