National League North: Complete Weekend Preview

The new campaign got off to a flying start and this weekend should prove just as entertaining.

Scunthorpe United made everyone sit up and take notice after a thoroughly convincing win at always-strong-at-home Brackley Town and now they play in front of their fans. Marine will be keen to send them home unhappy.

Spennymoor Town were another side to grab the opening day headlines against fancied Chester but they leave their wonderful home form behind with a trip to Leamington.

The teams the Moors and Scunny beat try to put those big defeats behind them by getting off the mark when they collide at the Deva Stadium.

Kidderminster Harriers underlined why many think they’ll be contenders after leaving Darlington victorious. Phil Brown’s side now welcome Radcliffe, while the Quakers make the long trip to Oxford City.

Chorley made it a three-point start and will hope to build on that at home to Hereford, who themselves eased past South Shields on Saturday.

Southport fans see no reason why they can’t be involved at the right end. They are a Needham Market while the side they defeated - Alfreton - host King’s Lynn, with Gold Omotayo the danger man.

Curzon Ashton want to make it two from two with success at South Shields, and so do Farsley and Buxton - they play each other after letting off first day fireworks.

Scarborough Athletic and Rushall Olympic were involved in opening day thrillers. Who will defend better this time when they cross swords?

Elsewhere Warrington and Peterborough Sports go into battle after first games to forget.
