What's Ahead Of Us On A Busy Tuesday Evening Of Action

By Sam Elliott

They’re probably not been in the minds of the other promotion hunters for some time, but it’s a Chesterfield-less evening in the National League tonight.

The leaders - who burst 23 points clear at the weekend despite ultra rare dropped home points - let the others have a go this evening.

In fact, neither of the top three take to the field so it’s all about the clamour for the top seven, and of course the race to avoid relegation with things very tight at the wrong end of the table.

The play-off hunters all have home advantage as they not only try and shoe-horn their way in but jostle for positions too. Solihull Moors won’t give up on a top three finish, they are at home to Kidderminster Harriers, who have won their last four in the league to give themselves a fighting chance of survival.

It’s not the only battle at both ends. Aldershot Town, currently sitting sixth, also take on an in-form team down by the division’s trap-door. AFC Fylde have won five from six but know they could be back in the bottom four if they have a bad night.

That would require a Dorking Wanderers win at York City, who have their tails up after Lenell John-Lewis’ late winner at Southend United. Oldham Athletic will jump back into the top seven if they can get the better of Boreham Wood.

It’s a big night in the National League South for both Taunton Town and Torquay United.

The west country match sees two very out-of-form sides meet looking to turn their season around as Dartford - now far too close to the bottom four for comfort - take on Chippenham Town.

There’s also two games in the National League North too and Alfreton Town will leapfrog South Shields and into the play-offs with victory at the Impact Arena.

Boy-zone backed Chorley will also be a top seven side again come 10pm tonight if they beat Spennymoor Town, who last weekend ended their rotten winless run with three points at Southport.
