Revealed: National League Team Of The Weekend!

By Sam Elliott

It’s crunch time in the National League. It's never an easy task selecting the Team of the Weekend, even after reading all the match reports!

Even more so at this time of the year. There’s so much to consider when piecing together a side who have performed the best for their clubs on Saturday.

There’s no room for error - and that’s why we make sure we take the best advice possible before announcing the squad of 16 plus the day’s best manager.

We pick the brains of club officials, managers and reporters around the grounds to make sure our team is as close to perfect as possible.

But as well all know football is a game of opinions - we rarely all agree!

So join the debate on twitter @TheNationalLge and let us know if you think we’ve missed someone special.
