Promotion is on the line with two big playoff finals in which the hosts are both fancied by bookmakers to make home advantage count.

Bognor Regis welcome old rivals Dulwich Hamlet to Nyewood Lane in what will be the fourth time the sides have met in a playoff match in the past seven years.

Dulwich lead that head-to-head series 2-1 but the Rocks finished 12 points better off in the regular Isthmian Premier League season.

However, Bognor needed a dramatic injury-time winner to overcome Wingate & Finchley in the semi-finals which suggests regular-season form may not mean a great deal at this stage.

Leamington host Hitchin in the Southern Premier playoff final after finishing six points clear of the visitors in the regular season.

Hitchin had a draining semi-final success on penalties at Merthyr on Thursday which may be a disadvantage to them.
