Preview: Saturday’s National League South Programme

After five games on Good Friday, there’s six matches on offer on Saturday.

For some it’s now or never with three matches left to play.

There’s as massive game down the bottom as Truro City and Gloucester meet - the winner will be able to smell survival’s scent.

It’s not been the season either imagined but they still have the chance to make it a positive end. But the loser’s concerns will remain.

Eastbourne Borough haven’t won since the first week of January and new manager Mark McGhee has seen his team lose four of their last five.

If they don’t arrest that slump soon they could be in deep trouble - especially as their relegation rivals play each other.

But Borough can take a giant stride to safety if they win at home to Dartford, who of course lost to lowly Weston earlier this month.

That result gave Weston-super-Mare a flicker of hope. They know they must beat Hampton or their late season run will mean nothing.

Wealdstone are tenth but still very much in touch with the play-offs.

Saturdays sees them welcome poor travellers Dulwich Hamlet, while Slough Town fans will very much consider themselves in the race if they win at Oxford City.

Billericay Town came into the league with very high hopes.

Harry Wheeler’s team are back in the top seven but the rest around them are winning as well.

A home game with Hemel Hempstead offers the Blues the chance of keeping their destiny in their own hands.
