Who Will Shine On Saturday In The North And South?

By Sam Elliott

We’re back for another bout of National League North and South action and there’s no time to put your feet up after all the midweek exertions.

What will the last few days do to Tamworth after an incredible season so far?

On Tuesday the leaders dropped two home points to Boston United before the news on Thursday night that League Two Walsall have moved to sign key midfielder Jamie Jellis.

They have a nine point advantage of course and on Saturday they face Spennymoor Town at home, whose season is spiralling and they now sit four points above the drop-zone.

Scunthorpe United need to start winning again and they make a demanding trip to Peterborough Sports, who are undefeated in four.

Banbury United begin life without manager Mark Jones with a home match against third place Scarborough Athletic.

The Puritans' form is keeping the bottom four content but if they want to survive, they must start winning. King’s Lynn Town face Chester, while promotion chasing Hereford head to troubled Darlington.

Brackley Town want to make it six weeks from six - but whisper that number quietly around Buxton, after they were hit for half a dozen against Warrington Town.

Alfreton Town are five unbeaten, they go to Southport, and so are Curzon Ashton - next up for the Nash is a trip to Rushall Olympic.

In the National League South, Maidstone United have a day off - they’re Portman Road bound in the FA Cup. You can read a match preview here.

Mark Cooper’s Yeovil Town are trying to extend their 12-point lead but face a very tough task at St Albans City, who have won their last four matches.

There’s a big game at the Beveree. Chelmsford City have taken 15 points from 15 but take on Hampton & RB, who have won eight from ten in front of their fans.

Torquay United are aiming to do old foes Yeovil over a favour by holting Yeovil Town in their tracks.

It’s a big game at both ends between Aveley and Taunton Town with Welling United also in dire need of three points, they are at play-off chasing Hemel Hempstead Town.

Farnborough need to avoid a fourth straight defeat when they go to Eastbourne Borough, who have their own agenda down the bottom.
