What's In Store In The National League South On Saturday?

By Sam Elliott

Big tests for the big hitters is the order of the day in the National League South on Saturday.

Some of the fancied sides clash while other strong starters have challenging away games.

The match of the day is at Grosvenor Vale as in-form Wealdstone take on flying Concord Rangers.

The in-form Stones were “perfect” as they thrashed Dartford 3-0 away last time out, while Concord’s 4-0 win over Hungerford was their third win on the spin. It’s all set up for a huge early season match.

Bath City have also taken nine points from nine games but they will be tested by a Chelmsford City side with title ambitions in Essex.

Billericay, leaders on goal difference, face a test of their resistance at Chippenham Town.

Woking are one point off the top and will have an eye on reclaiming the leadership but they have to beat Truro City at home first.

Eastbourne
have started strongly after a season to forget last time out.

It’s a trip to St Albans for the Sports, a side who have suffered three losses already.

Dartford need to get back on track and go to Hungerford who have let in ten goals in the last two Saturdays.

Torquay United’s form has dipped and need to re-find their scoring boosts at home to Gary McCann’s Hampton.

Dulwich Hamlet were praised by Bath City manager Jerry Gill last week but Gavin Rose’s team need points not plaudits.

A home game with Gloucester City offers them that chance, while Oxford City are at Weston-super-Mare.

Hemel Hempstead and Welling United meet both needing a win to kick-start an inconsistent first month.

East Thurrock
have lost every game and need a reaction and fast. They welcome a Slough Town team who have settled into their new league well.

No Helping Hand From Former Bees Manager Allen It’s safe to assume Martin Allen has a bit of soft spot for Saturday’s opponents Barnet. After all, the Chesterfield boss has managed them no fewer than five times.
