Punjab United vs Erith & Belvedere, SCEFL Premier Divison, The Steve Cook Stadium, Saturday 11th April 2026, 3:00pm Kick-Off

After a heartbreak defeat in the FA Vase Semi-Final second leg against Cockfosters FC, Punjab got back to winning ways in just 48 hours as a 3-0 win on the road against Sutton Athletic means that we can still be successful this season with a cup final and a push for the playoffs still on the cards. Punjab take on Erith & Belvedere tomorrow afternoon with nothing but three points needed to keep up with other teams around the playoff picture.

Last time Punjab took on Erith & Belvedere was away from home with Punjab coming away as 4-1 winners with goals from Wayne Bushell, a brace from Jack Hopkins and an own goal giving us three points.

The programme for this afternoon's game can be seen below:

Our Opponents:

Coming into this match, Erith & Belvedere have been on the wrong side of form with only one point in their last five matches and their last win coming almost two month ago on Saturday 21st February in a 2-0 win against Tunbridge Wells. However, Erith will be looking to spoil the party and with Thomas Borders being their leading goalscorer with ten goals, they will still be a threat.
