What's In Store In The National League North On Saturday?

By Tom Scott

The National League North table could look a whole lot different by the end of Saturday's action.

A number of games could be all or nothing for our sides pushing for promotion or looking to avoid the drop.

After their remarkable turnaround in fortunes, Southport now face a six-pointer of a different kind against Altrincham.

Liam Watson’s side will put themselves right in mix-up for promotion if they can claim all three points at Moss Lane.

As six-pointers go, Ashton United and FC United of Manchester is up there.

The Rebels know a win would boost their survival hopes whilst a loss for the Robins could be catastrophic.

Chester might have relished a home game with Curzon Ashton earlier in the season but in amongst their injury misery, the Nash will fancy extending their win streak.

There’s a derby in the north-east as Spennymoor Town make the short hop to Blackwell Meadows to face Darlington.

Hereford’s revival under Marc Richard’s has stalled in the last few games and they will be hoping not to fall victim to a Nuneaton Borough side looking for only their second win since September.

Steve Watson will know all about Stockport County’s incredible form as takes control of his York City side for the first time.

One win in six has seen Kidderminster plummet down the table but they can salvage their season with a win at AFC Telford United but only one team have claimed all three points at New Bucks Head this season.

Chorley can strengthen their position at the top if they overcome Guiseley at Victory Park – second place Bradford (Park Avenue) host Blyth Spartans.

Craig Elliott wants his Boston United side to improve their home fortunes as they look forward to hosting Leamington.

A win for the Pilgrims and a few favours elsewhere could put them within a point of the top-seven by the end of the day.

Brackley are another side who could put climb into play-off contention if they can overcome Alfreton Town in Derbyshire.
