The Garfield Carney-coached team, on seven points, face a must-win encounter against Group Three leaders Kemps Hill at the Wembley of Excellence Centre at 3 p.m.

Denbigh were level on seven points with Kemps Hill and Garvey Maceo heading into last Saturday’s penultimate round of matches. However, they suffered a shock 2-1 defeat to bottom-placed St Mary High at the Highgate Community Centre, leaving their hopes of advancing hanging in the balance.
