Our Champions Are Crowned, But What Will Be Settled Next?

After a number of attempts, there were champagne moments for Tamworth on Saturday and for Yeovil Town on Thursday night - but there’s still so much we need to clear up.

The champions and play-off hunters have been working hard to get out of the divisions, but what about the sides trying to stay in it?

The National League South said goodbye to Havant & Waterlooville in midweek, but there’s two more spots to fill and a number of clubs trying to avoid being sucked under alongside the Hawks and Dover Athletic.

Eastbourne Borough finally moved out of the bottom four and Adam Murray will really fancy his side’s survival chances if they can beat Chippenham. Dartford will hope Yeovil heads are heavy - they’re at Huish Park needing a result.

Taunton Town, hit for four on Thursday at home to Slough, will know they’ll be up against it in Farnborough, with Spencer Day showing off his Manager of the Month award and now into the promotion pack.

Things are very tight at the wrong end too in the National League North. Darlington will be safe if Steve Watson’s side beat Farsley Celtic, who occupy the final spot in the bottom four.

But worried Blyth Spartans, who sit just a place above, have their work cut out as they head to Scunthorpe United. Banbury went down on Thursday night and are now playing for pride.

The top seven race is heading up and there’s some key fixtures taking place.

In the National League South, Aveley are hunting down the play-off pack but having played a match more that the challengers, really need to go to Weston-super-Mare and win.

Farnborough are in with a huge shout and host Taunton, while Hampton & RB know they simply must end their seven match wait for a victory at home to already down Dover Athletic after being leapfrogged yesterday.

Bath City know if results go their way, three points at home to Torquay United may be enough to firm up their place.

In National League North, South Shields want to quieten the Tamworth party and boost their play-off hopes in the process.

Alfreton Town will be there if they don’t lose at home to Spennymoor, who have their own play-off agenda. The race for the top four will see Brackley Town in firm control if they win against Chester, but they’ll be well aware Chorley will expect to beat Banbury United.
