WEST Ham reserve team skipper Jack Collison has called on the team to make a grandstand end of season finish.

The Irons' in-form second string take on Fulham reserves tonight looking for a third successive victory.

Their recent good performances has seen them propelled up to third in the ten-team Barclay's Premier Reserve League Southern Division table, a mere two points behind second-place Reading.

A win tonight could see them move up to second and Collison (pictured) believes they should try and finish the season on a high.

He told the club's official website: "What we want to do is get as high as we can in the table and keep getting the results.

"We have set standards for ourselves. We have a good mix in the reserve team of senior pros who have the experience and younger lads looking to push their way into the first team."

First team striker Bobby Zamora and midfielders Nobby Solano and Luis Boa Morte should all feature.

The match - a prelude to the senior sides' clash on Saturday - is being played at Bishop's Stortford FC's Woodside Park. Kick off is at 7pm.

- WEST Ham's home Premier League match against Portsmouth on Saturday, April 5 is to be re-arranged due to major engineering works on the London Underground.

The game is to be played in the week commencing April 7.
