What’s Ahead Of Us In The North And South This Evening

By Sam Elliott

We say goodbye to October with an eye-catching evening of National League North and South action.

The month comes to a close with five matches and there’s significance at both ends of the table.

Chorley’s time at the top of the National League North will be shortlived - if Scunthorpe United get things right.

The Iron lost the leadership on Saturday when they went down at Southport, pictured. But with the top two not in action they can claim it back if they beat Farsley Celtic.

Spennymoor Town lost their near ten-month unbeaten home run at the weekend.

They’ve been challenged to get another one going, and are back in front of their fans tonight when fifth place King’s Lynn Town make the long trip north.

After seeing off Scunny, Southport will be in the play-offs if they win again at home, but Rushall Olympic know a good win at Haig Avenue could be enough to haul them out of the bottom four.

Radcliffe have similar ambitions. A home game against Buxton gives them the opportunity to climb over the dotted line of doom.

There’s one National League South match tonight too.

A point at Bath City is enough for Worthing to take a top seven place and Jerry Gill’s side have work to do to turn things around with one win in six.

National League North:
Radcliffe v Buxton
Scunthorpe United v Farsley
Southport v Rushall Olympic
Spennymoor Town v King’s Lynn

National League South:
Bath City v Worthing

National League Cup Group D:
Ebbsfleet United v Tottenham H U23
