What's On Offer Tonight In The National League?

By Steven Coney

The National League title may have been won but there is still plenty left to fight for in the play-offs and at the bottom end of the table.

There are five important fixtures tonight ahead of Saturday’s dramatic final day and the results could have some big consequences.

Arguably the most important game of the night comes from Hayes Lane as Bromley do battle with Barrow.

Both clubs have plenty to play for with Bromley looking to gatecrash the top seven whilst Barrow can effectively secure their National League status with a win - it’ll be a nervy evening!

Ebbsfleet United are another club looking to climb into the play-off places and three points at Gateshead would see them go up to fifth.

The Heed have competed well against Aldershot and Dover recently and don’t look like a team just playing the season out.

Tranmere Rovers have secured second place but their visitors Solihull Moors need a point to confirm their safety.

Due to their much better goal difference, Moors are all but safe already but a draw at Prenton Park would rubber-stamp things. Tranmere, however, have won eight of their last nine games and will want to continue their red-hot form into the play-offs.

Leyton Orient will also want to finish their campaign on a high heading into next season and host a Maidenhead United side hoping to finish as high as possible - the winner of this one will end the day in 12th.

And in the final game of Tuesday night, relegated pair Torquay United and Guiseley do battle at Plainmoor.

Pride is the only thing both clubs have left to play for with Guiseley hoping to climb off the bottom of the table before their stint in Non-League's top tier comes to an end.
