Enterprise National League South: the weekend preview

With a number of sides still going strong in the FA Cup, opportunity knocks for those on league duty to fire themselves up the table.

There’s nine Enterprise National League South fixtures ahead on Saturday - with many of the teams up the top battling for points.

Ebbsfleet United are back on top after their midweek annihilation of Farnborough, and Josh Wright wants to stay there.

He has been nominated for Manager of the Month but building on a brilliant start to November is what is on his mind when Chesham United visit and the Generals have only taken one point from a possible 15.

Second place Truro City are also in Kent and it’s a tricky assignment at Folkestone Invicta.

Maidstone United memories always drift to the FA Cup at this time of year but the only focus this time is promotion - the Stones could do with a win at Hemel Hempstead Town to keep the pressure on the two sides above them.

There’s a battle of the surprise packages as Farnham Town welcome Tonbridge Angels and both teams are firmly in the mix.

Chelmsford City know they should be, especially as they have only just lost their unbeaten record. Too many draws have restricted their progress - with the see off a bruised Farnborough in Essex on Saturday?

Billericay Town are taking a big following with them to Dagenham & Redbridge. It’s the Blues who hold a play-off spot but that will change with a home victory.

It’s probably still too easy to class a game as a six pointer but both struggling Slough Town and Walton & Hersham know the importance of their game at Arbour Park.

How Hampton & RB could do with a win as well.

The managerless Beavers have lost five from six and let victory slip through their grasp at Dorking Wanderers before losing their game in midweek.

A home match with Maidenhead United is vital to the season, while Braintree Town hope to keep climbing at Weston-super-Mare with AFC Totton hoping to put distance between themselves at the bottom three at Horsham.
