There’s A Big Night Ahead For National League Clubs

By Sam Elliott

Matches may not be in plentiful supply this evening but there’s more than enough to know it’s an important night ahead.

The FA Trophy semi-final line-up will be complete following the conclusion of the last remaining tie.

Stockport County’
s double dream is still alive but can they polish off Maidstone United at the Gallagher Stadium?

AFC Fylde await the winner next month following the draw at Wembley on Monday.

There’s one National League match tonight and Chesterfield have a big chance to put distance between themselves at the bottom four.

Their game in hand will bring a four-point cushion should they come away from Barnet with maximum reward later on.

After their slip up at home to struggling Ashton United on Saturday, National League North leaders Chorley know there simply cannot be a repeat tonight.

This time they host seemingly doomed Nuneaton needing to right the wrongs of Saturday’s shock defeat and re-establish their three-point lead.

Kidderminster manager Mark Yates knows time is running out but success at Ashton would close the gap to the play-off spots to two points.

Chester
haven’t quite been the same since Christmas, joint manager Bernard Morley claims.

If they beat Blyth Spartans at home then positivity is sure to return.

It’s another very big night in the National League South title race - and two of the chasers face long trips.

Torquay United
are back on top but aren’t as convincing away from home as they are at Plainmoor.

The Gulls are at East Thurrock while Woking, who slipped up at Dartford on Saturday, go to Truro City.
