By Sam Elliott

There’s some massive matches coming your way on Tuesday night so let’s waste no time in getting our teeth into what could be a gripping evening.

Big west country match-ups are the order of the day in the National League South.

Second face third as Taunton Town meet Bath City with both teams keen to put unexpected weekend defeats to one side.

It’s a match with plenty of history and bite - Weymouth travel face rivals Yeovil Town, who still sit in first place after Saturday’s late and great win at Worthing.

Will Torquay United’s much needed win over Welling United get their season going? Gary Johnson knows the importance of another win at Weston-super-Mare.

St Albans City fans will be aware a win against Slough Town could take them into the top seven while Hampton & RB's feel a fourth straight win could push them closer to a promotion place - they’re up against Worthing.

Tonbridge Angels beat Bath on Saturday and now have eyes for Farnborough, while there’s a big Kent clash as Maidstone United face Welling United.

Two National League North title contenders go into battle - and both want to send a message out to the rest.

Spennymoor Town will be well-rested after their weekend game was postponed. Will their unwanted day off prove to be important when they go to Scunthrope United?

Tamworth can strengthen their grip on the division’s leadership by winning at home again - but Gloucester City will arrive on the back of a convincing success against Alfreton.

South Shields sit happily in second place but what reaction will Chorley give after their thumping at Rushall Olympic, who head to…

Brackley Town, who are back in the title picture after recovering from rough few weeks. It’s the meeting off two in-form forwards - Dan Turner and Danny Waldron will be looking to make more headlines.

It’s four wins on the spin for Chester in all competitions and they won’t leave Southport with another without a fight for another.

There’s interest at both ends as Blyth Spartans welcome basement boys Darlington while Bishop’s Stortford look to avoid a fifth loss in a row at King’s Lynn Town as two teams in the bottom four face off.
