MILLWALL'S march towards promotion has received a shot in the arm following back-to-back league wins over Pegasus RFC.
A close season fixture pile-up saw Millwall snatch a narrow 17-13 home victory over Pegasus on Saturday, coming hot on the heels of a 15-64 away win seven days earlier.
Now the Isle of Dogs club has secured second spot in Essex Division 1, Dave Roberts' side faces just one more league game against Old Cooperian's before a crucial play-off encounter.
Millwall's play-off will see the high-flying team come up against the runners-up from Eastern Counties Division 1 with an historic place in London Division 3 next season at stake.
Speaking after Millwall's slim home win over Pegasus, Roberts said: "It was a difficult game all round.
"It was way too stop-start and neither team really got the chance to play much running rugby.
"But we will enjoy our secured second place in the table and prepare to lay the right foundations againn against Old Cooperian's."
Meanwhile, Millwall's fourth team made it a triple win over Pegasus after triumphing 22-8 against the same club's rival BL Division 7 side in the Plate Semi-Final at Canvey Island on Saturday.
