National League South: Complete Weekend Preview

By Sam Elliott

It always a very good sign when the weekend’s programme has been decimated on FA Cup first round weekend.

With the sheer volume of National League South sides in FA Cup action across the comings days, it’s little surprise we’ve only got half a dozen games to preview.

That doesn’t mean Saturday’s offering is less significant.

Actually, plenty of the teams at the top go into battle for three points and we could have new leaders once again.

In fact any one of five sides could be sitting pretty come and looking down at the rest when the standing are assessed over Sunday lunch.

It will take quite a day for table toppers Weston-super-Mare to hang onto the leadership.

The Seagulls are on FA Cup duty at Bristol Rovers and plenty of the chasers will play while they’re away.

Like second-place Farnborough, who are hosting Dorking Wanderers. No side has claimed more home points this season.

Truro City have tasted life in pole position and they want a return but Slough Town have ambitions to go up too.

Eastbourne Borough manager Adam Murray says the division holds no fears for his players. Read his thoughts on the promotion race here.

The Sports go to Hemel Hempstead Town, who now haven’t won since the first week of September.

Torquay United’s attacking arsenal has been bolstered by the addition of Yeovil Town’s Jordan Young - could he make his mark at home to fellow promotion candidates Chelmsford City?

It’s not a case of all eyes on the top, either.

The bottom two Aveley and Weymouth go head-to-head in a game already neither side can afford to lose.

Welling United and Chippenham aren’t many places above the bottom four. Who will come out on top when they meet tomorrow?
