Plenty Of Important Points To Play For On Saturday

Dorking Wanderers and Dagenham & Redbridge don’t fancy getting caught up in mix down the bottom - and want to profit from being the only sides going into battle in the league.

A recent good run has the Daggers feeling they’re moving in the right direction while Marc White’s team ended their barren spell by beating in-form Aldershot last time out.

The top sides in the National League North all suffered earlier FA Cup exits than they'd hoped for.

But that leaves them to resume their battle for promotion - and there’s a huge game as leaders Tamworth head to South Shields, pictured, who go into the weekend in third.

Scunthorpe United will have to wait to repair their away form - their game at Blyth Spartans is off.

Spennymoor ToWn sit fourth and welcome Boston United, who are chasing a win that could propel them into the top seven.

Chorley and Banbury United are in the same boat - they meet this weekend knowing what three points could do to the league table.

Meanwhile Darlington will lift themselves off the bottom if they win against Farsley Celtic and Bishop’s Stortford fail to defeat Buxton.

The chasing pack in the National League South can up the heat on leaders Yeovil Town.

With Mark Cooper’s table toppers otherwise engaged, Aveley will cut the gap to just three points if they defeat Weston-super-Mare in Essex.

Bath City, sitting in third, know they can really make things difficult for Torquay United if they win at Plainmoor and add to their own promotion push in the process.

Farnborough have climbed to fourth after a really productive few weeks for Spencer Day and his team - they could end Saturday in second spot if they defeat Taunton Town and other results go their way.

So could Hampton & RB if they win for a sixth game in a row at struggling Dover Athletic and they get a little luck elsewhere.

There’s a battle down the bottom as Weymouth and Welling United lock horns while bottom-markers Havant & Waterlooville chase a first away win this term at Braintree Town.
