There’s A Huge Night Of National League Action Ahead Of Us!

By Sam Elliott

April has arrived and it’s now officially the time when the men are separated from the boys.

We’ve got three National League fixtures for you tonight, with one each in the National League North and South.

It’s a big night in the title race at Leyton Orient look to make games in hand count.

The leaders’ advantage will be extended to four points if they win at Bromley - and they are looking to exorcise a ghost.

Early last season, the Lilywhites showed Orient exactly how tough life would be outside the EFL with a 6-1 win at Hayes Lane.

A lot of changed, but Bromley’s ability to score goals hasn’t. The table toppers take on a side who have found the net eight times in their last three games.

We’ll be in south east London for feature-game coverage across our social media platforms.

It’s a big night too in the play-off race. Eastleigh will strengthen their hand if they win at home to Barnet. Ben Strevens’ side could climb to fifth win three points.

But to do that they need AFC Fylde to drop points at home to Dagenham. The East Londoners aren’t yet safe after Peter Taylor’s team lost three in a row.

Could Torquay United tonight take a giant step towards returning to the National League at the first time of asking?

Gary Johnson knows most bets will be off if his team win at home to Chelmsford Cityat Plainmoor.

Should they do that, they’ll extend their lead over Woking to seven points. The top two meet this weekend, so any slip would see things remain really interesting.

Cards fans have hope - Chelmsford have lost only once since Christmas and Rod Stringer says his team are playing fantastic football.

Guiseley know they can cut the rest adrift in the National League North relegation race should they manage to win at Spennymoor.

A sizeable win for Jason Ainsley’s Moors will lift them up into third but would still leave them ten points behind leaders Chorley.

National League fixtures:
AFC Fylde v Dagenham
Bromley v Leyton Orient
Eastleigh v Barnet

National League North fixtures:
Spennymoor v Guiseley

National League South fixtures:
Torquay United v Chelmsford City
